Living our core values

Values are defined as the standards of behavior or one’s judgment of what is important in life. For example, if a personal value is integrity, then, not only does he strive for honesty; he also strives for doing the right thing even if no one knows, lives a life wherein there is congruence with what he says, feels, and thinks. Those whose lives are consistent with their core values experience a deep sense of happiness, enjoyment, and often are not as affected by life challenges such as loss of income or reduced employment status.

Abundance Thinking

There are 6 ways to make you come out on top when the pandemic eases:
(1) focus on what you have –be grateful for the resources you already have;
(2) master skills and create new solutions to
current problems;
(3) look for the good –train yourself to look for the good in situations;
(4) surround yourself with positive people;
(5) recognize that every situation has unlimited possibilities.
You can expand your awareness by slotting in a quiet and peaceful time within your day;
(6) do things that make you happy. Whether it is cooking, doing a craft, or reading, allow yourself that leisure and then share its benefits with others.

Reflection Question:
Which thoughts have hindered you from enjoying this gift of time and family? Are you willing to let
them go and turn towards abundant thinking?

Reflection in Action:
Look for at least 5 good things today and use meditation time to reflect on them and be grateful for
them

Loving intentions can influence the health of another. Praying for someone who is sick, may help them get better. There are studies that show how prayer transmits energy and/or positive mental suggestions from one person to another. When we have positive intentions for another, we also free our minds from worry, resentfulness, and preoccupation with negativity. We replace them with peace, joy, confidence, and creativity.

Reflection Question:
Have you been engaging social and envying those who seem to have cushy surroundings and yummy meals? What would happen if you blessed their situation and then became thankful for what you also have?

Reflection in Action:
Pray for a friend and wish them solace
