3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
With Friday proceeding as smoothly as expected, I was able to devote ny attention to attention itself. In order to mentally and spiritually progress further, I now need to elevate my mindfulness to the level of being continually self-aware. This is actually quite hard work! Chains of thought can quickly take you to places you don't want your mind to be in.
My technique to keep focused is not attempting a particular chain of thought, which is impossible to maintain, but on the intended feeling, which is on peace of mind. It's much easier to focus on a primal feeling than it is a high-level thought. Focus intently enough on the feeling, and the thoughts you actually want will follow.
My intention today is focus on the desired feeling and to see how the day unfolds.

8. TRIVIA

9. ZEN WISDOM
Only by overcoming life’s problems and obstacles can we become truly
strong. If everything always goes smoothly, we will grow complacent and
be unable to build a solid foundation for our lives. Only by
experiencing suffering ourselves can we understand the suffering of
others and deepen our compassion.
