Wednesday = Speaking for Peace

Wednesday = Speaking for Peace

Today the purpose of speaking is to create happiness in the listener. Have this intention: today every word I utter will be chosen consciously. I will refrain from complaints, condemnation, and criticism.

Your practice is to do at least one of the following:

Tell someone how much you appreciate him or her.

Express genuine gratitude to those who have helped and loved you.

Offer healing or nurturing words to someone who needs them.

Show respect to someone whose respect you value.

If you find that you are reacting negatively to anyone, in a way that isn’t peaceful, refrain from speaking and keeping silent. Wait to speak until you feel silent. Wait to speak until you feel centered and calm, and then speak with respect.
