The Buddhists say dissatisfaction is guaranteed in this life. So it’s important not to make it worse than it needs to be - by endlessly re-running painful thoughts - and instead to bring awareness and appreciation to good experiences.

Try: Think of three good experiences you expect to have today, however small, and resolve to notice and appreciate them.

Listening is not just hearing what others say, but also being present and attentive to what they mean. Listening is a form of mindfulness that cultivates empathy and compassion.

Try: Next time you are listening to someone, consider what it means for them.

How I use the Daily Bell
"The daily bell sets me up for the day.   I read it on waking and it helps me to start my day in a positive, kind, compassionate way.   I remind myself all the time about what I read. It is a great help in self regulation." KL
