Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration

The focus for today is:  I choose to end the day feeling peaceful and loving.

The following is quoted from a book entitled: Authenticity -- Clearing the Junk: A Buddhist Perspective

We need to examine our emotions and assess how many minutes in a day we feel angry, depressed, anxious, unsatisfied, obsessed, or any other unhealthy feelings.

These feelings are wasted; more than that, they take up the space and time that could be spent feeling more productive and pleasant thoughts such as love, joy, pleasure, satisfaction, and generosity.

A very simple way we can monitor our junk emotions is to resolve that we'll not go to bed angry or feeling hateful.


Today's Focus was inspired by the InnerSelf.com article:
