If we let feelings decide our present,
we are mortgaging our future
at a very high interest
We have to build the right
Values – identity – dharma pyramid
to design an intentional life
What to do when I am in grip of these feelings?
Here’s a cognitive behaviour tip:
Ask yourself
“What is the cost of this behaviour?”
If I don’t feel like exercising and I don’t
I will lose physical fitness
If I don’t keep commitments with people
I will lose quality relationships
If I don’t do mental gym exercises
I will lose mental and emotional fitness
These are real costs with real consequences
Doing what is right and what we are committed to
is our purpose of the moment
it is the Dharma
Not doing it will have painful consequences
Now that we have taken refuge in intentional living
Do we want to bear the heavy cross of painful consequences?
No
Then get out and do the action you have committed to

Today,
What action you will take which
you have committed to yourself?
