Continuing the daily themes for peacemakers, today’s peace practice is:
\nSpeaking for Peace
\nToday, the purpose of speaking is to create happiness in the listener. Have this intention: Today every word I utter will be chosen consciously. I will refrain from complaints, condemnation, and criticism.
\nYour practice is to do at least one of the following:
\nTell someone how much you appreciate them.
\nExpress genuine gratitude to those who have helped and loved you.
\nOffer healing or nurturing words to someone who needs them.
\nShow respect to someone whose respect you value.
\nIf you find that you are reacting negatively to anyone, in a way that isn’t peaceful, refrain from speaking and keep silent. Wait to speak until you feel centered and calm, and then speak with respect.
\nPlease support my intention for peace by going to Intent.com.<\/a> Then create your own intention to add the power of your intention toward peace in the world. Share this message with all your friends to create a tidal wave of peace for the planet right now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
