I invite you to read them about you.What is the most loving thing I can do or say right now?How quickly can I let this go?Do a turn around and find something positive regarding this particular thought.Is what I am doing, saying or thinking separating us or bringing us closer?Where is my ego in this?"There is real power in learning how to agree with others." Tyler and TaylorFind five. Find five things Steve did today that were wonderful and amazing and express that to Steve each night.What are 3 ways in which Steve's response is better than my natural response would have been?Why am I doing what I am doing and saying what I am saying?Where is my growth edge?How can I use this to practice love?Where am I being right?Think about a situation. Replay, practicing the most enlightened responses possible.Where has my mind gone down the road and made up things?Did I slow down my thinking and responses?What is my part in this? (Am I seeing myself without deception?)Have I considered Steve's viewpoint? How would things be different if I did?Am I doing the right thing, but am I doing it without love or fully giving of myself?What is the bigger picture? Am I getting caught up in details that don't matter?“Be curious, not judgmental.” Walt Whitman.Ask myself why Steve is doing or saying something instead of making him wrong.Am I going to war in my mind?Where can I be more flexible?Where can I find a third way that works for both of us?"It is a choice to be miserable rather than to experience happiness and joy—and it is utter stupidity of the silliest sort to choose misery when we could choose joy." Blake T. Ostler
