## Resource

If a specific memory keeps replaying — and there's truly nothing left to do about it — this is a two-minute way to close it out, in writing. It's called the Closing Entry: three plain sentences you write the next time an old, unchangeable moment loops back for the third or fourth time in a day. What happened. That it's finished. And one small, doable thing to give your attention to today. This is for moments where the door is genuinely closed — nothing left to fix, no one you still owe an apology or a conversation to. If a real repair is still available to you, that comes first. Follow 7 Good Minutes for new episodes every day.
