It’s easy to let the news bring us down. But the future, by definition, is uncertain. Rather than worry, concentrate on your here and now. Take shelter in the calm you create.

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

I REALIZE I will have to live in an uncertain future. I take refuge in the calm center of my being.

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!
