Daily reminders

Yikes! So much to remember to do each day..... so I'll put my list-making skills to good use...

• Accept self, my life & situations just the way they are right now
• Accept what is so
• Accept others as they are
• Notice my behaviour & reactions (judging, stress, anger, labeling)
• Notice if I'm seeking approval outside myself
• Be aware of how my small self (ego) is running my life
• Do not give anyone the power to make me feel badly
• Listen!
• Be here now - mindfulness
• Breathe!

What I am focusing on now:

Learning:

• 4 Noble Truths
• 5 Precepts
• 8-fold Path
• and other basics of Buddhism

Practicing:

• Meditation - at least 5 minutes a day
• The lessons from the podcasts and the books
• Mindfulness techniques
