How to use everyday mindfulness to make life more enjoyable.: "What do you do when you feel a little uncomfortable meeting someone? Or conversing with someone you find difficult to be around? Or talking to someone who is mad at you? What do you do? Get mad back? Go into the other room and slam the door? Fidget? Look down? Lean back? Avoid eye contact?
A spiritual practice from Buddhism works well in situations like that. It is called various things: Zazen, vipassana, mindfulness meditation. Zazen is the shortest and most fun to say. "

Go Forward

I find myself using the phrase "going forward" a lot today. What does it mean? It means "in the future" or "henceforth". Up until now, we have done that, but from now on, we we will do this. In the practice, it means that if something extraordinary has happened, that's awesome. What do you do now? Don't spend too much time admiring the open door. Yes, it's a door. It was closed, now it's open. Go forward. Go Forward.
