Many of us have an unhealthy habit or behavior that really affects our life. But we can change that. We are attached to our habits, but we begin to end these attachments as soon as we become aware of them and their hold on us.

Try this meditation for one minute every day, or longer if you want to:

WHEN I HAVE COME TO THE END OF MY ROPE, when I feel out of control, I need only put down my foot and say, “This will be no more.” I have the power to begin and to end, to say yes and to say no.

This meditation was adapted from A Mindful Day: 365 Ways to Live Life With Peace, Clarity, and an Open Heart, by David Dillard-Wright. How did it go for you? Share your thoughts and feelings in Shorelines and you’ll be entered to win a copy of the book!
