The Way to Rid Bad Habits

The way to rid bad habits is to build new ones.


Transforming negative, disturbing emotions to positive thinking 

  • anger - breath, slow down, maintain silence, clear the mind, organize the mind, think before speaking ------SWEEP THE HOUSE AND CLASSROOM
  • sadness - watch comedies, engage in creativity, study, read, pray, call Khenpo
  • disappointment -  look at my own actions that caused others' reaction making you feel disappointed - then stop thinking because you started it! 
  • making assumptions leading to wrong actions triggering incorrect views upon all parties - NO SECOND THOUGHT! IT IS VERY DANGEROUS! NO MONKEY MIND!
  • attachment to good and bad feelings - release yourself to these feelings right away - they are all illusions 


NEW HABITS
  • smile at friends and enemies alike and remain silent when necessary.
  • observe the situation and then decide whether you can help or not
  • children must be helped - paid or not paid - doesn't matter
  • If I cannot help adults, then I can teach Khenpo, who is more wise and can help the adults. 
  • Let go of negative emotions. Don't let them fill and control your mind. 
  • When the monkey mind begins to grow, recite mantras - turn on music!

Transforming unhealthy eating  to healthy eating so death will be less painful  in the long run
  • pizza - No pizza!
  • French fries - No French fries!
  • McDonald's - No McDonald's!
  • fried chicken - No fried chicken!
  • sugared drinks - No sugared drinks! No even Yakult or brown sugar!
  • no FRIED food - TRY!
  • Water! Water! Water! Water! Water!
  • balance meat intake - chicken, beef, and then pork - avoid fatty foods
  • Vegetables - all, more and more every day - shop for greens and finish them as the MAIN MEAL!
  • Fruits - be selective - apples, bananas, blueberries, watermelon
  • no sugar Apple cider vinegar

My Next Journey

 分享: 下一個旅程 這個暑假, 我用了一個月的時間讓自己好好休息. 好久沒有看那麼多電視了. 也很久很久沒有什麼都不做. 也很久很久沒有擔心功課還沒做完. 還真的不習慣. 只從2008換科系開始讀教育執照到碩士, 再來, 2012暑假買了往返機票(擔心教不好可以隨時飛回美國)...
