This year
more time and energy
to appreciate
the beauty in ourselves everyday
pay attention
challenge yourself to not participate
I will slow down, get quiet, and tune in.
create the space necessary to listen
to what my body and mind are saying,
slow down, take care of me
I choose to say “No” to unnecessary commitments
I choose to say “No” to unnecessary commitments
develop a foundation to make skillful decisions
and wise changes to my life
I am a curious and
objective observer of myself
simply without judgment.
By learning we develop resilience
to tolerate discomfort without reaction
My heart
is patient and quietly certain
I’m fine just as I am now
I will become a love ninja.
Rather than hurling judgment,
I will stealthily launch my compassion,
empathy and love.
A love ninja.
