I resisted the urge to gossip and instead gave this person the benefit of the doubt

It was very difficult to listen again and again for the umpteenth time to my husband telling me that I am a liar. He tells me that I'm a liar because I never told him that when things weren't going well and I was sad it was because of our complicated relationship. The times I tried to tell him he told me I was criticizing him. I stopped thinking and saying so as not to argue. Unfortunately, this is not enough to solve the problems. I hoped that with the practice of meditation and its teaching I would be able to overcome this ordeal. This is not the case in this situation. Fortunately, other situations in my life show me the openness and valuable tools that the practice of meditation offers me.

(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.
