We all arrive at that place where our thinking is confused and reflects a great deal of inner distress. I have found new seed thoughts and insights that I plant into my mind at those times.
Wise beings shape their own lives: My choosing to take time to consider the following thoughts is a gift to me. I choose to nurture a sense of joy & contentment! Remember, I choose my own state of mind.
What do I really need right now, in this moment, to be happy?
Am I happy? May I be happy. May I be free! Now.
Compassion: May I be free from pain & sorrow.
May I be free from danger & harm.
Patience: Let go of the tension to achieve, do, grasp or understand anything. Allow the present moment.
May my good fortune continue & increase!
May I feel the joy, playfulness & wonder of life!
May I say YES to life!
May all of my thoughts and actions be ethical & kind; both towards others and myself.
May I CELEBRATE the wonder & beauty of life.
May I ACCEPT all of life, as it is and as it isn’t.
May I accept and delight in all people—as we are—with all of our complexities, uniqueness, diversity, gifts and oddities.
Each person is the owner of his or her own choices.
My happiness & unhappiness arise out of my actions of body, speech & mind, and choices in attitudes and perceptions—and NOT from outside forces.
These causes exist within me (and others).
I am complete & contented.
May I CELEBRATE the weeds, the flowers and the cultivation of life—from seed potential—to flowering of wonders. May I experience a deep feeling of trust & contentment in life’s mysterious journey. May I remember that I am surrounded by infinite love.
May I trust that all people are cared for and have universal support for all of their needs to be met.
It is not my job to fix the world. It doesn’t need fixing. Release from shutting down my joy because of the world’s suffering.
Honor the suffering of each being and what it teaches them.
May I guide the being that lives inside of my skin with great tenderness and respect.
· And have contentment. All is well.
May I trust the process & timing of life’s journey of evolution—from one change to another.
May I become a doctor to my own mind!
May all people have happiness and the causes of happiness.
May all people be free of anguish and the causes of anguish.
May all people not be separated from the great happiness that is beyond all misery.
May all people abide in balance, free of bias, attachments and anger.
I open my heart up to light-heartedness!
I open my heart up to joy!
I open my heart up to laughter!
I open my heart up to FUN!
The day of non-judgment is coming!!!
–intimate with and accepting of–all of life!
I will free my heart from all suffering, pain, and distress!
