Trying to cultivate more compassion toward myself and everyone else I encounter in my day-to-day life.
Trying to be MUCH more mindful. Much more present, much more âobservationalâ and less âjudgementalâŠâ
Reminding myself that thoughts and feelings are actually pretty meaningless
Remembering to ask myself, âdo you actually know that to be true?â
Because most-all of the time, I do not.
Remembering to remind myself how little I am actually in control of: just myself & my responses.
Remembering to cultivate an attitude of gratitude. To look at challenges as opportunities for growth, as opportunities to deepen my humanity, perspective, wisdom, love
Trying to remember to choose connection over discord even when itâs hard to do. Even when the environment around you doesnât cultivate it, even when itâs feels unpopular to choose kindness and empathy first
Even when it it feels like your vulnerability will be met with rejection, ridicule and even hostility.
Trying to remember to be brave.
Trying to remember that perfectionism and striving are defense mechanisms, barriers, walls meant to create an ultimately false sense of protection.
Trying not to build walls. Trying not to feel defensive and in need of protection.
Trying to move beyond survival mode and live in a more enlightened space.
To live according to my values and not in response to what I fear.
Remembering not to give things outside myself so much power and say in how I feel about myself & my life.
Trying to find ppl with similar hearts and minds. Hoping, really hoping, that I can be strong enough to remain kind and loving and not be changed by circumstances and new environments and fear
Trying to resist less and give into more
Trying to accept things as they are
Trying with some real difficulty to stay open-minded and hearted⊠to begin with⊠to let people get to know me. To get to know them without beingâŠ.
Leaving other people to be responsible for their own energy and not tailoring my behavior in response
