May I Live With Ease

September 9th, 2010 ·

Now that I’ve been back at work for three days, I’m getting back into the groove of it. I can even appreciate and feel lots of gratitude for my job. I get to play with new technologies and work with some very talented and creative people. And I really like the person I work for.

May I live with ease is a lovingkindness meditation/mantra I employ whenever I think of it. It helps to get my mind focused away from all of the constant jabber that goes on in my head about how bad things are (funny that’s usually where our thoughts go, isn’t it??). I’m amazed at how peaceful and suddenly focused I feel when I do this. It has even helped my get to sleep at night and wake up feeling good instead of grouchy!

If you’re interested in learning more, I highly recommend The Kindness Handbook: A Practical Companion.
