Affirmations For Today

Miss Scarlett · 02-01-2011, 05:45 AM

This only takes a few minutes and something I do every morning before getting out of bed.

Practice for the New Millennium
by the Dalai Lama

The Practice:

1. Spend 5 minutes at the beginning of each day remembering
we all want the same things (to be happy and be loved)
and we are all connected to one another.

2. Spend 5 minutes breathing in, cherishing yourself; and, breathing out
cherishing others. If you think about people you have difficulty cherishing,
extend your cherishing to them anyway.

3. During the day extend that attitude to everyone you meet.
Practice cherishing the "simplest" person (clerks, attendants, etc)
or people you dislike.

4. Continue this practice no matter what happens or what anyone does to you.

These thoughts are very simple, inspiring and helpful.
The practice of cherishing can be taken very deeply if done wordlessly,
allowing yourself to feel the love and appreciation that
already exists in your heart.

MY mantra for the week: While sometimes I am a horse's rear, MOST of the time I am a wonderful human being.

My self importance is not based on what others think of me.

I will not put off my happiness or base it on some future that may or may not happen. That doesn't mean I can't improve or change if I want to, BUT I will not delay finding joy in my life. If not now, when?
