Making Life Yours
Perception

There is no secret recipe for happiness and contentment. The individuals who move through life joyously have not necessarily

been blessed with lives of abundance, love, success, and prosperity. Such people have, however, been blessed with the ability

to take the circumstances they?ve been handed and make them into something great. Our individual realities are colored by

perception?delight and despair come from within rather than without. Situations we regard as fortuitous please us while situations

we judge inauspicious cause us no end of grief. Yet if we can look at all we have accomplished without dwelling on our perceived

misfortune and make each new circumstance our own, the world as a whole becomes a brighter place. A simple shift in attitude

can help us recognize and unearth the hidden potential for personal and outer world fulfillment in every event, every relationship,

every duty, and every setback.

The universe is often an unpredictable and chaotic place, and the human tendency is to focus on the negative and assume the

positive will care for itself. But life can be no more or no less than what you make of it. If you are working in a job you dislike,

you can concentrate on the positive aspects of the position and approach your work with gusto. What can you do with this job

that can turn it around so you do love it. When faced with the prospect of undertaking a task you fear, you can view it as an

opportunity to discover what you are truly capable of doing. Similarly, unexpected events, when viewed as surprises, can add

flavor to your existence. By choosing to love life no matter what crosses your path, you can create an atmosphere of jubilance

that is wonderfully infectious. A change in perspective is all it takes to change your world, but you must be willing to adopt an

optimistic, hopeful mind-set.

To make a conscious decision to be happy is not enough. You must learn to observe life?s complexities through the eyes of a

child seeing everything for the first time. You must furthermore divest yourself of preconceived notions of what is good and

what is bad so that you can appreciate the rich insights concealed in each stage of your life?s journey. And you must strive to

discover the dual joys of wanting what you have. As you gradually shift your perspective, your existence will be imbued with

happiness and contentment that will remain with you forever.

The Strength of Compassion
Coming at Conflict with an Open Heart

Conflict is an unavoidable part of our lives because our beliefs and modes of being often contrast powerfully with those of our

loved ones, acquaintances, and associates. Yet for all the grief disagreements can cause, we can learn much from them. The

manner in which we handle ourselves when confronted with anger or argument demonstrates our overall level of patience and

the quality of our energetic states. To resolve conflict, no matter how exasperating the disagreement at hand, we should

approach our adversary with an open heart laden with compassion. Judgments and blame must be cast aside and replaced

with mutual respect. Conflict is frequently motivated by unspoken needs that are masked by confrontational attitudes or

aggressive behavior. When we come at conflict with love and acceptance in our hearts, we empower ourselves to discover a

means to attaining collective resolution.

The key to finding the wisdom concealed in conflict is to ask yourself why you clash with a particular person or situation.

Your inner self or the universe may be trying to point you to a specific life lesson, so try to keep your ears and eyes open.

Once you have explored the internal and external roots of your disagreement, make a conscious effort to release any anger

or resentment you feel. As you do so, the energy between you and your adversary with change perceptibly, even if they are

still operating from a more limited energy state. Consider that each of you likely has compelling reasons for thinking and

feeling as you do, and accept that you have no power to change your adversary’s mind. This can help you approach your

disagreement rationally, with a steady voice and a willingness to compromise.

If you listen thoughtfully and with an empathetic ear during conflict, you can transform clashes into opportunities to

compromise. Examine your thoughts and feelings carefully. You may discover stubbornness within yourself that is causing

resistance or that you are unwittingly feeding yourself negative messages about your adversary. As your part in

disagreements becomes gradually more clear, each new conflict becomes another chance to further hone your empathy,

compassion, and tolerance.

Days of Affirmation
Sending Love Ahead to Your Day

Upon waking, many people consider the coming day with trepidation. Because of the natural human tendency to focus

on what we fear or dislike, it is easy to unwittingly send a message of unease into the future that negatively impacts the

quality of your day. However, while our lives are busy and frequently replete with challenges, they are also rich with joy

and experiences worth savoring. We can attract this natural bliss into our lives by starting each day with a message of

love. When you send love ahead to your day, that love will manifest itself in your interpersonal interactions, your

professional endeavors, and your domestic duties. Tasks and circumstances once made trying by your own anxiety are

transformed by your love, and you will find yourself approaching life’s subtle nuances with great affection.

Each morning, when you have cast off the fog of sleep, take several deep, grounding breaths and reaffirm the love you

have for yourself. Speaking a loving, self-directed blessing aloud enables you to access and awaken the reservoir of

tenderness in your soul. Before you leave the comfortable warmth of your bed, be sure to tell the universe that you are

eager and ready to receive the blessings it has set aside for you. Then as you prepare to meet the day, visualize yourself

first saturated by and then surrounded with a warm and soft loving light. Gradually widen the circle of this light until you

are able to send it ahead into your future. If you are commuting to work, send love to the roads upon which you will drive,

your fellow commuters, and your parking space. If you have colleagues who arrive at your workplace before you, send

them love. Likewise, a day spent being a parent or addressing household chores can benefit from the sentiment that

precedes you. Sending love ahead to everyone you will meet and everything you will do can ensure that your day is

suffused with grace.

If you have difficulty sending love to those situations and individuals you deem particularly frustrating, consider that the

warmth and tenderness you project can change your life for the better. Each morning, in sending this love, you will

exercise your power to control the ambiance of your existence and to color your day with positivity.

Waves of Healing
Ocean Meditation

Like us, the sea is ever-changing. And, like us, the earth’s vast oceans appear at a distance to be stable and

homogenous. But beneath the mask of solidity that both we and the sea wear, there lies unpredictability, sensitivity,

and power. There is much we can learn from the ocean, representative as it is of our inner landscapes. The rough

sounds of the sea’s waves are spiritually soothing, and its salt can purify our physical selves. Yet not everyone has

the luxury of living by the shore or even visiting the coastlines where water and land meet. The ocean, however, exists

in our conscious minds, put there by images we have seen and descriptions we have read. Wherever we are, we can

access that mental image and use it as the starting point from which we can help to heal our emotions by meditating

on the sea.

To begin, gather together any ocean artifacts you may have on hand. Seashells, a vial of sand, beach glass, stones

rubbed smooth by the pounding surf, or a recording of ocean sounds can help you slip more deeply into this meditation,

but they are not necessary. Sit quietly and visualize the ocean in your mind’s eye. Allow all of your senses to participate

in your mental journey. Feel the tiny grains of sand beneath your feet and the cool spray of mist; hear the sea’s rhythmic

roar as the waves meet the beach and retreat; smell the tang of salt in the air. Watch the sun’s rays play over the ocean’s

surface, creating shifting spots of teal, cerulean, cobalt, and green. Don’t be surprised if you see dolphins or whales

frolicking in the waves—they are there to assist you. Spend a few minutes drinking in the ocean’s beauty and

appreciating its vast splendor.

Once you are fully engaged with the setting before you, visualize yourself sitting on the beach, facing the ocean, and

watching the waves advance and retreat. As each new wave of seawater approaches, imagine it carrying healing energy

toward you. The magnificent ocean in your thoughts is sending you light and love while the sun supports your healing

efforts and Mother Earth grounds you in the moment so healing can occur. When you feel you are finished, grant the

ocean your earnest gratitude for the aid it has given you. Thank the sun, the sand, and any other elements of your

visualization that offered you guidance. Perform this meditation daily or monthly in order to rid yourself of negativity and

reestablish emotional equilibrium. Just as the ocean’s tides sweep the shores free of detritus, restoring balance, so can

the waves in our mind’s eye cleanse our souls of what no longer serves us.

You Are Who You Are, Not What You Do
Becoming Your Wrong Decisions

Our perception of the traits and characteristics that make us who we are is often tightly intertwined with how we live our

life. We define ourselves in terms of the roles we adopt, our actions and inactions, our triumphs, and what we think are

failures. As a result it is easy to identify so strongly with a decision that has resulted in unexpected negative

consequences that we actually become that "wrong" decision.

The disappointment and shame we feel when we make what we perceive as a mistake grows until it becomes a dominant

part of our identities. We rationalize our "poor" decisions by labeling ourselves incompetent decision-makers. However,

your true identity cannot be defined by your choices. Your essence—what makes you a unique entity—exists

independently of your decision-making process.

There are no true right or wrong decisions. All decisions contribute to your development and are an integral part of your

evolving existence yet they are still separate from the self. A decision that does not result in its intended outcome is in no

way an illustration of character. Still, it can have dire effects on our ability to trust ourselves and our self-esteem.

You can avoid becoming your decisions by affirming that a "bad decision" was just an experience, and next time you can

choose differently.

Try to avoid lingering in the past and mulling over the circumstances that led to your perceived error in judgment. Instead

adapt to the new circumstances you must face by considering how you can use your intelligence, inner strength, and

intuition to aid you in moving forward more mindfully.

Try not to entirely avoid thinking about the choices you have made, but reflect on the consequences of your decision

from a rational rather than an emotional standpoint. Strive to understand why you made the choice you did, forgive

yourself, and then move forward.

A perceived mistake becomes a valuable learning experience and is, in essence, a gift to learn and grow from.

You are not a bad person and you are not your decisions; you are simply human.

Five Things
A Self-Esteem Exercise

Our primary relationship in life is with our selves. No one else goes through every experience in life with us. We are

our one permanent companion, yet we are often our worst critic. To remind ourselves of our magnificence, we can

do this exercise:

“Five Things I Like About Myself.”

Begin by writing down at least five things that you like about yourself. This is not the time to be modest. If you are

having trouble coming up with a total of five items, you know that this exercise can really benefit you. Be sure to include

more than your physical attributes on your list, since our bodies are only part of who we are. If you are still struggling

with what to include on your list, think of what you like about your favorite people, because these traits are probably

qualities that you possess too.

Another way to complete your list is to think of five things you don’t like about yourself and find something about these

traits that you can like.

Continue this process for a week, thinking of five new things you like about yourself everyday. At the end of the week,

read the list aloud to yourself while standing in front of a mirror.

Instead of looking for flaws to fix, allow the mirror to reflect your magnificence. You may feel silly about standing in front

of a mirror and reading aloud a list of your admirable attributes, but it might just bring a smile to your face and change

the way you see yourself.

Remember, it is when you feel the most resistant that this exercise can benefit you the most. Because we are constantly

looking at the world, instead of looking at ourselves, we don’t often see what’s magnificent about ourselves that others do.

When we take the time to experience ourselves the way we would experience someone we love and

admire, we become our best companion and supporter on life’s journey.

New Year's Resolutions: The Two Lists
A Message from DailyOM Co-Founder Scott Blum

I was fortunate to spend time with an enigmatic man named Robert during a very special period of my life. Robert taught

me many things during our days together, and this time of year reminds me of one particular interaction we had.
"Now that you are becoming more aware," Robert said, "you need to begin to set goals for yourself so you don't lose the

momentum you have built."
"Like New Year's resolutions?" I asked.
"That's an interesting idea," he smirked. "Let's do that."
By then I was used to his cryptic responses, so I knew something was up because of the way his eyes sparkled as he

let out an impish laugh.

"Tonight's assignment is to make two lists," Robert continued. "The first is a list of all the New Year's resolutions you

WANT to keep, and the second is a list of all the New Year's resolutions you WILL keep. Write the WANT List first, and

when you have exhausted all of your ideas, then write the second list on another sheet of paper."

That night I went home and spent several hours working on the two lists. The WANT List felt overwhelming at first, but

after a while I got into writing all the things I had always wanted to do if the burdens of life hadn't gotten in the way. After

nearly an hour, the list swelled to fill the entire page and contained nearly all of my ideas of an ideal life. The second list

was much easier, and I was able to quickly commit ten practical resolutions that I felt would be both realistic and helpful.

The next day, I met Robert in front of the local food Co-op, where we seemed to have most of our enlightening

conversations. "Tell me about your two lists," Robert said as the familiar smirk crept onto his face.
"The first list contains all the things I SHOULD do if I completely changed my life to be the person I always wanted to be.

And the second list contains all the things I COULD do by accepting my current life, and taking realistic steps towards

the life I want to lead."

"Let me see the second list," he said.

I handed him the second list, and without even looking at it, he ripped the paper into tiny pieces and threw it in the nearby

garbage can. His disregard for the effort I had put into the list annoyed me at first, but after I calmed down I began to think

about the first list in a different light.

In my heart, I knew the second list was a cop out, and the first list was the only one that really mattered.

"And now, the first list." Robert bowed his head and held out both of his hands.

I purposefully handed him the first list and held his gaze for several seconds, waiting for him to begin reading the page.

After an unusually long silence, he began to crumple the paper into a ball and once again tossed it into the can

without looking at it.
"What did you do that for?!" I couldn't hide my anger any longer.
Robert began to speak in a quiet and assured voice. "What you SHOULD or COULD do with your life no longer matters.

The only thing that matters, from this day forward, is what you MUST do."

He then drew a folded piece of paper from his back pocket and handed it to me.
I opened it carefully, and found a single word floating in the middle of the white page:

"Love."

Fresh and Unfixed
There Is Only Now

It can be easy for us to walk through the world and our lives without really being present. While dwelling on the past

and living for the future are common pastimes, it is physically impossible to live anywhere but the present moment.

We cannot step out our front door and take a left turn to May of last year, any more than we can take a right turn to

December 2010.

Nevertheless, we can easily miss the future we are waiting for as it becomes the now we are too busy to pay attention to.

We then spend the rest of our time playing “catch up” to the moment that we just let pass by. During moments like these,

it is important to remember that there is only Now.

In order to feel more at home in the present moment, it is important to try to stay aware, open, and receptive. Being in

the present moment requires our full attention so that we are fully awake to experience it. When we are fully present,

our minds do not wander. We are focused on what is going on right now, rather than thinking about what just happened

or worrying about what is going to happen next.

Being present lets us experience each moment in our lives in a way that cannot be fully lived through memory or fantasy.

When we begin to corral our attention into the present moment, it can be almost overwhelming to be here. There is a

state of stillness that has to happen that can take some getting used to, and the mind chatter that so often gets us into

our heads and out of the present moment doesn’t have as much to do. We may feel a lack of control because we aren’t

busy planning our next move, assessing our current situation, or anticipating the future.

Instead, being present requires that we be flexible, creative, attentive, and spontaneous. Each present moment is

completely new, and nothing like it has happened or will ever happen again.

As you move through your day, remember to stay present in each moment. In doing so, you will live your life without

having to wait for the future or yearn for the past. Life happens to us when we   happen to life in the Now

Being Clear About Desires
Getting What We Want

The best way to get what we want from life is to first know what we want. If we haven’t taken the time to really

understand and identify what would truly make us happy, we won’t be able to ask for it from those around us or

from the universe. We may not even be able to recognize it once it arrives. Once we are clear about what we want,

we can communicate it to those around us.

When we can be honest about who we are and what we want, there is no need to demand, be rude or aggressive,

or manipulate others that are involved in helping us get what we want. Instead, we know that we are transmitting a

signal on the right frequency to bring all that we desire into our experience.

As the world evolves, humanity is learning to work from the heart. We may have been taught that the way to get what

we want is to follow certain rules, play particular games, or even engage in acts that use less than our highest integrity

. The only rules we need to apply are those of intention and connection.

In terms of energy, we can see that it takes a lot of energy to keep up a false front or act in a way that is counter to our

true nature, but much less energy is expended when we can just be and enjoy connections that energize us in return.

Then our energy can be directed toward living the life we want right now.

Society has certain expectations of behavior and the roles each of us should play, but as spiritual beings we are not

bound by these superficial structures unless we choose to accept them. Instead, we can listen to our hearts and follow

what we know to be true and meaningful for us.  In doing so, we will find others who have chosen the same path. It can

be easy to get caught up in following goals that appear to be what we want, but when we pursue the underlying value,

we are certain to stay on our right path and continue to feed our soul.

A Bad Habit
Being Hard On Ourselves

One of the key components of human consciousness that most of us need to address and change is our tendency to

be hard on ourselves.  We do this in ways that are both overt and subtle, and half the work sometimes is recognizing

that we are doing it at all. For example, if we find it difficult to graciously accept compliments, this is probably a sign

that we tend to be hard on ourselves.

Other ways in which we express this tendency include never feeling satisfied with a job well done, always wanting to

be and do better, and getting mad at ourselves  for getting sick. Getting mad at ourselves at all indicates that we need

to rescue ourselves from our learned ability to be unkind to ourselves.

In essence, when we are hard on ourselves, we send our bodies the message that we are not good enough. Whenever

we do this, we do damage that will need to be addressed later, and we sap our systems of much-needed energy. Being

hard on ourselves is a waste of precious time and energy that we could use in positive ways. To begin to understand

how this works, we can think about times when someone made  us feel that we weren’t good enough. Even just thinking

about it will create an effect in our bodies that doesn’t feel good. We may be used to the feeling, but when we really tune

into it, we instinctively know that it is not good for us on any level.

Like any bad habit, being hard on ourselves can be a challenging one to release, but the more we feel the burden it

places on us, the more motivated we will be to change. At first, just noticing when we are doing it and how it makes

us feel is enough. As our awareness increases, our innate impulse toward health and well-being will be activated,

moving us out of danger and into a more positive and more natural  relationship with ourselves.

Unconscious Communication
Chronic Lateness

Being late for an appointment or a date can seem like a small thing that really doesn’t matter, but it communicates

volumes, whether we mean it to or not. Being kept waiting is an experience that almost no one enjoys, because at best,

it wastes their time, and at worst, it indicates a lack of regard. It’s as if we’re saying that our time is more important than

their time, so we don’t need to honor them by showing up when we said we would. W

When we are running late, it means a lot if we call and let the person know, especially if it’s going to be more than ten

minutes. However, if we are chronically late, it may take more than a phone call to properly address the issue.

If it’s become a habit of ours not to be on time, we may want to look inside ourselves and see what’s going on. It’s easy

enough to make excuses about our behavior, or to project responsibility on the other person, perceiving them to be

uptight if they are irritated by our tardiness. What’s more difficult, and more meaningful, is looking at ourselves and asking

why it is that we always, or often, show up late.

Sometimes this happens out of a lack of self-regard, as if we aren’t really important anyway, so why will anyone care if

we’re late, or don’t show up at all. Chronic lateness can also stem from being disorganized, or simply trying to do too

much in one day. Another possible reason for being late to a particular appointment, or date, is that we don’t really want

to be there. We communicate our disinterest or boredom by not showing up on time.

Whatever our reasons, if we raise them to the conscious level, we have an opportunity to live a more conscious life. As

we begin to  understand the deeper reasons behind our inability to show up on time, we have the option to communicate

clearly and consciously about how we really feel, rather than communicating unconsciously by being late.

Free To Live

You may find that you are easily angered and irritated today. Because you may be in an overly sensitive mood or

unusually aware of  others’ thoughts and actions, you may react emotionally if you feel you’ve been slighted. A harsh

word or insensitive deed may have the power to gravely upset you. Consider, however, that the behavior you encounter

may have nothing to do with you.

Should you find yourself feeling slighted by a loved one or colleague, ask yourself whether they truly intended to offend

or hurt you. You may discover  that you are less likely to react when you remain aware of your feelings and mood.

Stay tuned in to where you are emotionally today, and you’ll be less inclined to overreact when faced with others’ negativity.

When you don’t take what others say and do personally, you can maintain an optimistic and upbeat mood regardless

of how people around you choose to behave. The individuals in our lives often have multi layered motivations for doing

what they do—a thoughtless word or deed is therefore not always as simple as it might appear.

Choosing not to react emotionally to others can help you determine the true reasons for why people act as they do.

Your detachment allows you to understand that the negativity directed at you may actually have little to do with you.

By choosing to take control of your reactions today, you will, as a result, regain stewardship of your mood, and the

quality of your day will not be affected by the behavior of others.

If Only
Locating The Underlying Cause

Often, when we’re unhappy, we fall into the habit of thinking that, if only one or two particular things in our life would

change, everything would be fine. We might focus on the fact that we need a new car, or a raise, or a change in our

living situation. We dwell on this one thing and strategize, or complain, or daydream about what it would be like to have it.

Meanwhile, underneath the surface, the real reason for our unhappiness sits unrecognized and un addressed. And yet,

if we are able to locate and explore the underlying cause of our discontent, all the surface concerns have a way of

working themselves out in the light of our realization.

Maybe we really do just need a new car, and maybe moving to another city would improve our life situation. However,

it can only help to take some time to explore what’s going on at a deeper level. Sometimes, when we take a moment

and stop focusing on external concerns, we get to the heart of the matter. We might realize that all our lives we’ve been

dissatisfied, grasping at one thing after another, only to be dissatisfied about something else once we get what we want.

Or perhaps we’ll notice a pattern of running away from a place, or a relationship, when things get too hard. We might

then wonder why this keeps happening, and how we might work through the difficulty rather than just

escaping it. The point is, slowing down and turning our attention within can save us a lot of energy in the long run,

because it is very often the case that there is no external change that will make us happy.

Once you’ve taken the time to inquire within, you can begin to make changes that address the deeper issue.

This can be hard at first, especially if you’ve grown used to grasping for outside sources in order to quell your

discontent, but in the end, you will be solving the problem at a deeper level, and it will be much less likely to recur.

Attitude of Detachment

You may feel excitable and emotional about unexpected news today. Perhaps you become aware of a looming

challenge that upsets your plans, or you may simply feel overwhelmed by something that will ultimately be good

for you. Whether you perceive these events to be good or bad may  depend solely on your reaction to them, and

you can benefit by choosing to adopt an attitude of detachment from your emotions today.

Rather than allowing yourself to be taken on a roller coaster ride of ups and downs based on your experiences,

you can simply embrace an attitude of joy and acceptance for whatever may come your way. You may find it helpful

to recite a calming affirmation throughout the day, such as: “I am centered and peaceful in all circumstances.”

By choosing a neutral emotional state, we can better handle unexpected events. Though emotional reaction to

powerful experiences is commonplace for most of us, we can also learn to take control of our emotional responses

and create a stronger sense of inner balance.

By choosing to detach from volatile emotions and instead embrace a consistent feeling of calm in every experience

, we are still able to enjoy pleasant experiences and work through difficult ones. With a detached focus, we no

longer feel controlled by our emotions and we discover we have the power to choose how we feel in any circumstance.

All of your experiences can seem more valuable today if you detach from your emotional responses and adopt

a focus on peace and joy in every moment.

Tearing Down To Rebuild
Rethinking Complaining

We all know someone who has elevated the process of complaining to a high art. Sometimes funny, sometimes

exhausting, these people have the ability to find a problem just about anywhere. In its more evolved form,

complaining is simply the ability to see what’s not working,

in one’s own life or in the external world, and it can be quite useful if followed to its natural conclusion—finding

a solution and applying it.

However, many of us don’t get that far, and we find that complaining has become an end in itself. In small doses,

this is not a big problem, but if complaining has become a huge part of our identities, it may be time to take a good

look at how we are spending our energy.

Complaining is a person’s way of acknowledging that they are not happy with the way things are. In a metaphorical

way, when we complain   or criticize, we are tearing down an undesirable structure in order to make room for

something new. But if all we do is tear down, never  bothering to summon the creative energy required to create

something new, we are not fulfilling the process.

In fact, we are at risk for becoming  a stagnant and destructive force in our own lives and in the lives of the people

we love. Another issue with complaining is that we sometimes tend to focus on other people, whom we can’t change,

as a way of deflecting attention from the one person we can change—ourselves. So transforming complaining into

something useful is a twofold process that begins with turning our critical eye to look at things we can actually do

something about, and then taking positive action.

When we find ourselves complaining, the last thing we need to do is get down on ourselves. Instead, we can begin

by noticing that we are in the mode of wanting to make some changes. But rather than lashing out at somebody

or an organization, we can look for an appropriate place to channel this energy—not our neighbor’s house, but

possibly parts of our own.

Finally, we can ask ourselves the positive question of  what we would like to create in the place of whatever it is

we want to tear down. When we do this, we channel a negative habit into a creative process, thus using our

energy to change the world around us in a positive way.
