  12. Why Am I My Worst Critic? - Daily Wisdom

    Notice, for a moment, how you speak to yourself on a bad day, after a mistake, a failure, something you are ashamed of. There is usually a running commentary in there, and it is rarely gentle; for many of us it is a voice we would never use

  14. Coming Home to Yourself - Daily Wisdom

  15. How can I stay with Myself ? - Daily Wisdom

    Welcome back to Daily Wisdom. To stay with yourself is gentler and far less busy than the fleeing makes us fear. It asks only that you keep the feeling company, letting it be there, noticing where it sits in the body, the tightness in the c

  16. Why Do I Take Things Personally ? - Daily Wisdom

  17. What is Mine to Carry ? - Daily Wisdom

    Welcome back to Daily Wisdom. Think of how you feel walking through your own door at the end of a hard day. You are often carrying a weight that is unmistakably heavy, and yet if you stopped to sort through it, you might find that a surpris

  20. What Does Kindness Give Back? - Daily Wisdom

    Welcome back to Daily Wisdom. We have moved from seeing more of another person's story, to listening past their words, to imagining our way into their world, to choosing a response instead of firing off a reaction. All of it has been leanin

  21. Respond Instead of React - Daily Wisdom

    Welcome back to daily wisdom. You know the moment. A message arrives with the wrong tone, or someone says the thing that finds your sore spot, and before a single clear thought has formed, the heat is already up and the sharp reply is alrea

    Welcome back to Daily Wisdom. We are fluent in the language of doing too much, and nearly mute in the language of living at the wrong speed. We know how to say we are busy, stretched, behind. What we rarely learn to name is something quiete

  28. When Life Moves Slower than Wanted

    Welcome back to daily wisdom. We can accept slowness more easily when we have chosen it. A slow walk, a slow morning, a slow conversation. But when the thing we want is delayed, when healing takes longer, when a project grows slowly, when c

  29. What Are You Saving Time For? - Daily Wisdom
