Take moments to savor what is beautiful and good.

There is so much division in this world. So what is really the path of healing? It can begin in this moment, by embracing the life that`s here.

If you can, do a gratitude practice: Each day write down three things you're grateful for. There are different ways to do this. You can have a gratitude buddy, someone with whom, at the end of the day, you exchange messages listing these three things you are grateful for. Also, you can journal it or reflect on it silently.

Paying attention is the most basic and profound expression of love.

I speak a lot about what I call "the trance of unworthiness" which is really epidemic in our culture, this sense of "I'm not enough," or "something's wrong with me." Most of us have some level of it because our culture has all these standards (handed down through our families) of what it means to be okay.

As I noticed feelings and thoughts appear and disappear, it became increasingly clear that they were just coming and going on their own. . . . There was no sense of a self owning them.

Sometimes the easiest way to appreciate ourselves is by looking through the eyes of someone who loves us.
