[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 658518, member: 17269"] There is a Buddhist practice called "watering the seeds". The imagery is that our mind is full of seedlings..some are wild ugly tangled thorny weeds and some are beautiful flowers or nourishing plants. If you water the nasty ugly ones they will grow and crowd out the others. If you water the flowers and nourishing plants, they will flourish and the weeds won't have a chance. Spend time each day thinking about the beautiful things in life, your hopes and aspirations for yourself, the things you enjoy and value. Water THOSE seeds. Let the sorrow and anger and especially the useless attempts at controlling others (these are the weeds) go. Good luck! Start today! [/QUOTE]
