I feel heavy and sleepy because I slept late after finishing Dammaschool yesterday. I admit that my body is tired, and I'm going to start anew from today.

I am thankful for the opportunity to see myself bare and unadorned. I will continue to practice diligently. I feel calm now.

After morning meditation, my head is clear and light. I let go of what's passing, and I don't worry about what's coming in advance. It's hard for me to stay awake here now, but I'll try again from today.

I just returned from helping a Vietnamese family who suffered flood damage from the typhoon. Seeing them look so much brighter and more energetic than last month fills my heart with joy and warmth. I am realizing the preciousness of my daily life, and I am trying to live satisfied in the here and now.

I felt a little low, so I went to a local market. Seeing the street vendors in the Vietnamese market living so busily and full of life gave me energy. I will focus on right now and live through the day.

Lately, I've been feeling a strong reluctance to work, which is causing holes in my usual responsibilities. I am taking a moment to acknowledge and accept this feeling. 'This is my mind right now; I truly don't feel like it' and then I will try to proceed with the tasks, one by one.

I am suffering because of conflicts of interest in my work at the company. Coordinating with clients and other teams is not easy. I acknowledge that this is difficult, and I will do what I can. This, too, shall pass.

I notice when feelings like "This is hard" or "I am worried" arise, and I pause to observe them. Although it is challenging to remain awake and present here and now, I am choosing to make a fresh start, beginning today.

After finishing my morning practice, my mind feels much more peaceful. It is difficult to stay awake in the here and now, but I am trying again. When my mind feels uncomfortable, I practice observing it simply by saying, "It is uncomfortable," and then just pausing to watch it. This practice brings me peace, and I am grateful for that.
