This one will help you pull your head out of your self more often and focus on your present. It's good to spend "a little" time learning from the past and planning for the future but please, live in the present. It's safer here.
Practice random acts of kindness and spontaneous creations of beauty.
Do something nice for someone and tell no one about it.
Kind regards,
Doc

Practice random acts of kindness....
I have heard the first part many times but never heard the last part. Thanks, Doc. It is very nice. I would like to add that to my list.

yes, the second part is almost more important than the first. although you can't have one without the other.
Here's something very small I do to try to embrace this idea:
the next time you drop something off at goodwill or the salvation army or other such place don't ask for a receipt.
Granted, that is a very small gesture, it doesn't seem like much. However, it starts to change the feelings and reasonings you have inside yourself for doing such things. Are you truly donating this item for the good of someone else or are you tossing it in the car instead of the trash for tax purposes. and really, what's that little piece of paper going to save you, $2 maybe?
sometimes small gestures go a long way.

Now has no room for past or future, guilt or worry.
Look around you.
Now is good.
Now we are grateful.
Now we are patient.
Now we are happy.
Now we are kind.
Now we are a calm mind at peace, in balance and harmony with the universe.
Harmony is the real goal.

The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.

May I be safe, happy, healthy, and content.
May I love myself completely, with great kindness, just as I am now.
No matter what happens.
May you be safe, happy, healthy, and content.
May you love yourself completely, with great kindness, just as you are now.
No matter what happens.
May all beings be safe, happy, healthy, and content.
May all beings love themselves completely, with great kindness, just as they are now.
No matter what happens.

Compassion for others is useless if you cannot first master your own life. (Thomas Cleary)
