Steps of PSAI implementation.

Step 1:	Sit at bedside, breath diaphragmatically for 5–10 min and then read the golden verses, with emphasis on verses 9–45.
Step 2:	Recall every event of the day in the exact sequence that it happened
Step 3:	Visualize yourself as an observer of another person. To enhance recall of events, categorize them as follows: diet, physical activity, sleep, interpersonal contacts (verses 32–35) and assess accomplishment of goals set during morning practice.
Step 4:	Critically appraise each selected experience using three questions (verse 42): “In what have I done wrong ? What have I done right ? What have I omitted that I ought to have done?”. Remember to stay emotionally detached, examine the performed actions and disapprove or endorse accordingly (verses 9–45).
Step 5:	In the morning, immediately after waking up, quickly summarize the conclusions of the previous night practice and set goals for the upcoming day.
