Comfort for Oneself



Was reading this book, Love is all about You, again. There are 50 small titles in it, here is the 21:

"Giving yourself a measure of comfort a day"

Give yourself a measure of comfort at the end of everyday.
Affirm within yourself the courage to face challenges.
Forgive yourself for an unkind deed, word of tought.
Comfort yourself at the end of a difficult day that tommorow will be better.
You are your best companion.

This kind of practice is also suggested in a book, In the Sphere of Silence, by Vijay Eswaran. Kinda a good simple practice. This is 'self-help' which some people call it as BS. I believe it, though. =p

I just read your post in Friendster blog. It requires login to post a comment, so i'll leave a comment here.

Could only try to imagine the frustration you felt. It's understandable that you want to do something to change the scenario.

Would like to suggest an alternative way. Instead of directing your 'effort' on the lect, how bout directing your 'effort' on your classmates who are frustrated too?

Help them free themselves frm the frustration however much or little. Then maybe at least one person would benefit from your 'effort'.

Just a suggestion.

Whoever you are, thanks for the suggestion. I've learnt my lesson. So in the quite similar case now, I just keep quite. =)

A bit unfair, though. But I hope that will ease my life a little bit.

Thanks anyway =)
