Remind yourself daily that you are a divine creation and entitled to be treated lovingly by others, as well as by yourself. By seeing yourself as connected to rather than separated from God, you will feel a greater reverence for yourself.
Look into your heart and be honest about all of the people in your past who have harmed you in any way. Where there is pain, practice pardon. Forgiveness is the very foundation of spiritual awakening.
If you find yourself in a confrontation of any kind with anyone, be it a family member or stranger, before reacting ask yourself, "Is what I am about to say motivated by my need to be right, or my desire to be kind?" Then pick a response that stems from kindness, regardless of how your ego objects.
Let go of your tears that have been a symbol of your attachment to the past. The sadness and self-pity will not wash away one tiny fragment of your past. Gently remind the wounded part of yourself that that was then and this is now. Learn from those experiences. Bless them as great teachers, and then come rushing back to the working unit of your life, now!
Remove blame from your vocabulary. Catch yourself when you find yourself using your past history as a reason for your failure to act today, and instead say, "I am free now to detach myself from what I used to be."
Live today. Let go of your attachment to your past as an excuse for your life conditions today. You are the product of the choices you are making right now.
Cultivate your own garden and let go of your tendency to examine and judge how others cultivate theirs. Catch yourself in moments of gossip about how others ought to be living and rid yourself of thoughts about how they should be doing it this way, or how they have no right to live and think as they do. Stay busy and involved in your own projects and pursuits.
Always be a shining light in someone's life because they just might need some encouragement you could make their day a lot brighter
