The intention to be aware of whatever arises,
in the present moment, without a lot of judgment:
bring curiosity, friendliness, and self-compassion
to your daily life.

It wasn’t long after reading Rik Isensee’s practical tips to shift my mood that I tried a couple of his techniques. Sure enough, I was able to adjust my mood during a taxing meeting at work, and then again when I was getting impatient with my kids at home. I mentally put myself in the relaxed state that I feel when I listen to music on a sunny day in the backyard. That grumpy feeling I was so tired of just melted away.”
