Personal practice goals

Take the vow to bless all and hurt none! Cutlivate greater awareness of how you use language. Become attentive to the quality of your speaking. What does it reeal about who you are being in this moment? What does it contribute to others? Where is this converstaion coming from, where is it leading at an energetic level? If you find yourself engaged in a negative conversation, remember your commitment to bless ratherthan harm. If necessary, openly admit you feel uncomfortable with being so negative, and explore with the other person how you can both redirect the conversation. If you find yourself in an angry, accusatory exchange, simply admit that this is not constructive for anyone and take a break. Search your soul for the capacity to accept and understand. Don't come back to it untill you can be compassionate and constructive, untill you can bless the other person with what you have to say and hear his/her side of the issue.
