I'm having a hard time in this hot weather. I feel heavy after drinking and eating. I notice the heat, wash up, and watch.

I'm worried because something went wrong during my work. It's not something that can be solved by worrying, but I'm tired of worrying. Since it's something that's already happened, I'm going to focus on how to solve it.

Yesterday through the class, I realized that I need to practice speaking more gently. When I become fixated on the thought that I am right, my words become rigid and forceful, so I understand that I need to practice acknowledging our differences first and staying mindful of what I am saying. I know well that life is an endless process of practice, so I will continue to cultivate awareness steadily. Right now, I feel calm.

Yesterday, I saw someone and realized that I become like him—someone who gets irritated with others and expresses his feelings through his behavior. Understanding that being irritated and expressing my feelings to others without awareness makes me foolish and causes suffering to others, I will consistently practice awareness and letting go. Now I feel thankful for the Buddha's teachings.

I am sensitive to criticism from others. I admit that I want to hide my mistakes and want to look good. It's not a big deal. Even this will pass.

My stomach hurts because I overate yesterday. I admit that it is the result of my actions. I will start anew from today.

I feel at ease now.

As I kept reading comic books, my eyes and wrists started to hurt. If fun becomes too much, it becomes painful. I'm glad I was able to stop because my body was hurting. I'm starting anew from today.

I have a lot of work and my body us tired, so negative thoughts arose during my morning practice, but after finishing it, my mind became calm. I realized that it’s not my heavy workload itself that’s difficult, but rather my attachment to the thought of having too much work, it’s my karmic consciousness that makes it hard. It’s all created by my own mind. Right now, my mind is serene.

I suffered from a stomachache due to overeating last night. This is the result of eating the leftovers. Let's let go of the past and start anew from today.
