Relearning the ABC!

A few weekends ago we went to attend a lecture by a Swami of the Chinmayananda Mission in San Diego. In the interesting part of his lecture he gave some tips to a disciplined life. It was quite nice and I wrote them down. Here they are for another day when I might need to feel inspired again. Remember, J for Jokes!

A-Turn attention inward
B-Breathing
C-Concentrate
D-Diet
E-Exercise
F-Flexibility
G-Goal
H-Healing
I-Inspiration
J-Jokes
K-Knowledge (Spiritual)
L-Love selflessly
M-Meditation
N-Nature watching
O-Observation thoughts & Feelings
P-Prayer
Q-Quietude
R-?
S-?
T-Time-management
U-Understanding
V-Values (Read Scriptures)
W-Watchful walking
X-Devalue the causes of stress
Y-Yoga
Z-Zestful living

Among some other things, we were told that the word for dictionary in Sanskrit, shabdakosha, literally means "repository of sounds." It is not a repository of words as we tend to think. That means a lot to the researcher of Hinduism in me.
