Day 25 – Treat Yourself Well Exercise

Suffering is bad enough. But it is also a sign that you are cheating yourself. If you have the opportunity for joy and inner peace, please don’t throw it away. Don’t replace your inner treasure with doubts, fears, and unhappiness. Your first priority is to treat yourself well.

You can counter the power of craving, attachment, and addiction by appreciating the good things you have done in your life and the way they made you feel. Stay close to your sense of what has value, and the distractions that pull you away from what you truly care about will not be able to take hold. 

20 minute practice:

Consider the good things you have done in your life.

How does it make you feel?

What do your truly care about?

What are your distractions?
