Sabbath for Proaction

When I first read about the concept of proaction in Stephen Covey's book, I was amazed to learn that I have the freedom and responsibility to choose how to respond rather than going through my life reacting to things as they arise; that I can control my moods and my impulses, rather than letting situations and people’s words sway me.

I've gotten much better now at being independent and disciplined - at letting praise and criticism roll off me; at feeling good because of my inner light rather than as a response to what others say; at having equanimity in the hard times. And I've also gotten better at looking my moods of avoidance in the eye and having the strength of my convictions.

Today I have a day to myself, and I'll take time to be proactive and disciplined with some things I've been avoiding, and also settle into meditation on the various people and situations in my life and how I can better respond to them.

Agenda today:

1. Read "Everyday Simplicity"
2. Resilience tasks
3. Proaction plans
4. Love Meditation
