(For Wed 10/01) I'm have been spending extra time working with a freelance content contributor, in order to ensure that they are paid properly and on time despite their unusual working circumstances.

On the last day working at my company, I shook my boss's hand and thanked him. I wanted us to part on good terms even though most of my problems at the company can be attributed to him.

I have not been very kind to my father due to several reasons in the family, though i know his weakness and mistakes , i could not understand why i used to be cold with him. I didnt wish him this New year 2024 , i felt like failed my training at Dharma class. Just remembered that i can change and i have been initiating small talks with him.

I participated in a breathing workshop today which finished with a guided meditation. It was a safe space for us to share our experiences and what we're trying to cultivate in our lives. It was nice to have the support of others on a similar journey to find inner peace and happiness.

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.
