Special exercise for June 21st, 2009:
Look both ways
The next time you find yourself in the middle of any conflict with another person (either inwardly or outwardly) see if you can pause for a moment to "look both ways." Meaning, work to broaden your view to include the other person as best you can. Even the smallest interruption to your usual, one-way "my way or the highway" thoughts helps to lessen their grip on you. The more you look before you act, the less inclined you will be to choose the path where you clearly see you're about to run into yourself and others!
