The Drama II

It should come as no surprise to any of us that a drama-free life is a life with much less stress and strain . . . and it's a life which should include a sense of ease as we live it . . .

Question . . . How do we get to the point of living such a life? There are some very common sense things we can accomplish which make life so much easier . . .

Minding our own business . . .

Identifying those people who pull us in with their negative influence, and then minimizing contact with them as much as possible . . .

Not getting involved in gossip . . .

Keeping things in confidence which are meant to be kept in confidence . . .

Being circumspect in what we say . . . If we ask three questions before we speak, the answers to those questions will guide us . . . Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?

Acting with compassion and non-harm . . .

Thinking beautiful thoughts, such as wishing only the best for ALL beings . . .

Being aware of self-defeating self-talk, and then working to eliminate it by substituting life enhancing affirmations . . .

Being optimistic and hopeful, and not imagining worst case scenarios . . .

Being grateful . . .


The list could go on and on . . . But, if we see ourselves in any of those areas listed, we can begin immediately to change it for the better! It may take a little time to eliminate a bad habit or two, but it's well worth it . . .

Cheers to all who are living a drama-free life!!

Until next time . . . Ciao!!
