Jungto Online Community

I got a text message from a person who I no longer want to be friendly with. I could’ve just ignored the text but replied so she won’t feel ignored.

I created a Facebook story of a temple I visited regularly in 2023, and I encouraged others to find a similar place of peace this new year.

I clicked the \'Like\' button on The Pacific Forum\'s conference on North Korean human rights. Why is a research institute that focuses on national security hosting a conference on North Korean human rights, and why is this concerning?

I frequently have contentious conversations with my son, who is 25. They usually end with us yelling at each other. I decided to be a better listener, less judgmental, and to keep my opinions to myself unless asked. Not easy, but I'm working on it.

Instead of holding a grudge against my partner or get frustrated that he does not always remember things that I say or ask him, I calmly repeat myself and remind myself that it has less to do with me and more about whatever's occupying his mind. I have compassion for myself (I have hypervigilant tendencies so I tend to over-obsess and remember everything) and compassion for him (because I probably hold him to the same standard I do to myself) and instead remember that what is most important is that I show up in the present moment and not to take things he says (or forgets) personally.

(For Tuesday 09/01) I reached out to a work colleague in an effort to clarify a point of disagreement and confusion. Although the issue has not yet been fully resolved, I think that the lines of communication are flowing more easily as a result.

I listened attentively to my partner when he was having difficulty at his work. I feel connected.

I’ve uploaded a social media post to encourage finding peace in nature, especially as the Christmas season has traditionally been seen as one of peace.

During an argument I chose to apologise for my actions even though I felt at the time I wasn't in the wrong. It allowed the argument to end and for us to have a peaceful and happy day.

I chose to be curious rather than judgmental or worried when I could not understand my daughter. I feel calmer.
