Jungto Online Community

I went for a walk around my house for the first time in a while and it helped me to feel more relaxed and peaceful afterwards.

I tried to listen even though the topic was not interesting to me and attempted to find a way to be interested. It didn't last for long, but I realized that listening for the purpose of finding what interests me, helps me focus and better understand what the other person is saying.

I practiced accepting differences and showing understanding and empathy toward someone with a different perspective.

I regularly meditate and pray for peace, extending it to my loved ones and the world.

Before I started to become angry, I was able to realize I am getting angry. Before I acted upon the feeling, and wrote things that I might regret later, I imagine being in their shoes and I tried to be more neutral and after I got calm a little bit, I reply to the email.

Yesterday, I met fellow neighbours to plan next year’s activities on raising awareness on the subtleties of negative behaviour in our community.

I actively greet my neighbors. A small gesture lifts the mood and eases any uncomfortable moments.

I felt upset about the political situation in Korea lately. However, after listening to Sunim’s insightful answer in his daily activities update, I was able to see different perspectives from multiple dimensions and calm my mind with greater peace.

I used to get involved when my wife and daughter were arguing, hoping to calm things down. I have actually learnt that it is better to stay completely out of it and let them talk it out. Since I stay out, to my surprise, things are more peaceful at home.

Last night I was a little rude to my partner at dinner just about how the food was cooked. I apologized to him later admitting that my communication was poor. His feelings are more important than how the food is cooked.
