Spend 5 minutes at the beginning of each day remembering we all want the >same thing (to be happy and loved) and we are all connected. > >2. Spend 5 minutes cherishing yourself and others. Let go of judgments. >Breathe in cherishing yourself, and breathe out cherishing others. If the >faces of people you are having difficulty with appear, cherish them as well. > >3. During the day extend that attitude to everyone you meet - we are all the >same and I cherish myself and you. {Do it with the grocery store clerk, the >client, your family, co-workers, etc.]. > >4.
