How to remove bad habits?

Message for the day  11-08-2011

----------------------------------------------------------

To be sincere in removing weaknesses is to have the power to overcome them.

Projection: While it is important to recognize strengths, it is also important to recognize and acknowledge weaknesses. With honesty, when we understand our weaknesses, with sincerity we are able to work and have the power to overcome them. We are then able to find the right method too.

Solution: Let me take a positive thought connected to my weakness and remind myself of that thought at least 5 times a day. For example, if my weakness is anger, let me remind myself of my inherent peace with thoughts like 'I am a being of peace' 'peace is inherent within me'. When I practice sincerely with this I find that the power within emerges emerges strength finishing weakness (peace emerges finishing anger).

Detachment Read the following words slowly and go into the experience of each suggested thought: What is the "I"? I am a soul... I am the force... I am the driver... I, the soul...a tiny star, have no size... I am really just a pinpoint of light... I can easily detach from the world around me…from my throne between my eyebrows… I am the ruler of all my sense organs... I feel far away from the problems of the day... I am just a peaceful soul... loveful soul... All others are souls like me...all tiny shining stars...all are my fellow souls... I feel far away from the physical world... I am just a soul...mind, intellect and a set of personality traits (sanskars)… I am peaceful…
