Just for Today
Pick one and try and practice it
Just for today
I will exercise my soul in three ways.
I will do somebody a good turn, and not get found out;
if anybody knows of it, it will not count.
I will do at least two things I don't want to - just for exercise.
I will not show anyone that my feelings are hurt;
they may be hurt, but today I will not show it.
Just recently
I have been noticing
that I am leaning on approval seeking
with someone at work
and almost pushing boundaries again
like a child
old behaviour
and seeing what reaction I get
and there is none!
so my cunning plan doesnt work
disease
dis-ease in me schemes
my feelings have been hurt
my ambition
my financial security
my personal relations
have all been threatened
or so my self centred fear tells me
So my focus for the 24 hours or so is
just for exercise.
I will not show anyone that my feelings are hurt;
they may be hurt, but today I will not show it.
restraint of tongue and pen and email
Think Think Think
before speaking... ask myself
does it need to be said now?
does it need to be said by me?
Is it helpful to the situation?
it all takes practice
and I need to be reminded to practice it :)

Amen to all that you wrote Johno. Sometimes I control and don't even realize that I'm doing it. It is so ingrained for so long. Thanks and always glad to read your posts.
