“Miracles, contrary to popular belief, do not just happen. A miracle is the achievement of the impossible, and it is only when we put aside greed, anger, pride and prejudice so that our minds are open and ready to accept it, that a miracle can occur.” –Julie Andrews Edwards from The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodle
“How do I put aside anger?” asks my student.
Here are three ways to release anger and cultivate daily happiness:
1. Keep a Gratitude Journal
Write three things you are grateful for each day
2. Practice Compassion
Try this exercise from The Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley
3. Send a Thank-you
To one person in your life each morning: text, email, in person, phone call or US post
Have you experimented with any of these habits?
