Greetings
all!
Here
is the September-2020 calendar from CALM: lots of wonderful suggestions and
ideas for self-reflection and self-care. I love the September 20 reminder!
Take
a moment to think what makes you present, patient, and resilient. And remember
to breathe!

September
1 - When
you need to make a decision, take a break from thinking and sit in meditation
to let the answer arise naturally.
September
2- Welcome
whatever emotions are coming up for you, let go of resistance and notice what’s
possible when you accept what arises.
September
3 - Slow
down and bring full awareness to the pleasure of whatever you find yourself
doing, whether folding a t-shirt or watching a sunset.
September
4 - When
you notice yourself critiquing yourself, pause, take a deep breath and say to
yourself, what if I didn’t judge myself right now?
September
5 - Instead
of trying to force things you can’t change, focus on what you can shift and
influence.
September
6 - Let
thoughts pass like clouds floating by in the big blue sky. Notice how working
with this analogy makes you feel.
September
7 - Instead
of seeing a past mistake as a blunder, recognize it as a step along your
journey. Let it be a source of wisdom and growth.
September
8 - “When
the student is ready, the teacher will appear.” Reflect on an unexpected
teacher in your life.
September
9 - What
needs tending in your life? Invest 15 minutes of your time and attention to
something that you’ve been neglecting.
September
10 - Write
a list of what’s important to you and put it on your fridge. Write from your
heart.
September
11 - Each
time you turn to your breath, you are creating a more peaceful environment for
your thoughts and emotions.
September
12 - As you
move through the world, practice beginners-mind by approaching life with
wonder, innocence, and curiosity.
September
13 - Give
yourself space to feel, time to breathe, and become your own source of soothing
comfort.
September
14 - Make
room for your emotions without judgment. Allow them to pass through you, evolve
into something else, or just dissolve.
September
15 - Remember
that you’re not just your mind. Walk through the world connected to your body
and heart and honor them in your choices today.
September
16 - Make
time for silence today. Think of it as a gift to your mind.
September
17 - Do
your meditation somewhere out of the ordinary today. Maybe outside or on the
bus! Notice how you meet new distractions.
September
18 - Be.
Here. Now. Say this to yourself at least 10 times today.
September
19 - “There
is no need for a different, better moment.” Meet each moment fully and work
with what you have available to you at this time.
September
20 - Your
heart is beating. Your body is breathing. You are here. Receive today as a
gift.
September
21 - Look
for the humanity within yourself and others. Let there be love.
September
22 - Reflect
on something that you’d like to let go of and use your exhales to support your
process.
September
23 - Talk
about your shame with someone you trust. Shame can’t survive when it is met
with empathy and understanding.
September
24 - Find a
quiet place and hang out in the spaces in between your thoughts.
September
25 - When
negativity arises, practice gratitude to shift your perspective.
September
26 - Surrender
to change as a way to find your flow.
September
27 - When
you notice yourself being reactive, impatient, or aggressive, stop and ask
yourself how you want to act. This is a moment of choice.
September
28 - Explore
the details of a familiar space to see it anew. Share what you noticed with the
hashtag #DailyCalm.
September
29 - “Obstacles
do not block the path, they are the path.” What in your life seems like an
obstacle but is actually helping you to grow?
September
30 - Do
something to strengthen your resiliency.
