A place to be OneSelf

1. Prioritize Health 
Care for your body, mind, and spirit as an act of self-discipline, self-respect and devotion.

2. Cultivate Emotional Self-Regulation
Recognize your triggers and inquire into their origin with compassion, curiosity and acceptance. Regulate your emotions using mindful awareness, breathing techniques and practices that work for you. Notice and accept uncomfortable sensations, emotions and traits (i.e. pain, anger, fear, jealousy, greed, shame, hate) and allow them to transform. Nurture compassion, courage, gratitude, peace and kindness.

4. Care for the Earth
Our collective future is derived from the well-being of the Earth and its resources. Honour and protect the land, water, air and living beings. Consume responsibly, waste little and live simply and sustainably, being aware of the long-term impact of your actions.

5. Nurture Family and Community
Be dedicated, responsive and attuned to children and elders. Connect with others. Eat, worship, celebrate and play together. Zest for life deepens when we feel supported and live for one another.

6. Love and serve others
Compassion, empathy and service arise from recognizing our shared essence and common humanity. Treat others as you would like to be treated. Help create a compassionate global community that practices inclusion, acceptance, non-harming and works to reduce suffering.

7. Hone Your Values
Choose altruistic values to live by. Commit to these and orient your life and actions around them.

8. Orient Towards Meaning and Purpose
Respond to improve the conditions around you. Move towards personal growth and collective well-being as you develop your talents and capacity. Work honestly and diligently. 

9. Seek and Preserve Truth and Wisdom 
Integrate and share the teachings from elders, awakened ones, and wisdom traditions with discernment and respect. Cultivate insight and liberation through meditation.

10. Share What You Have
Practice generosity and community service, improving the lives of others, with warm-hearted kindness.

11. Practice Gratitude
Give thanks often. Gratitude shifts your perspective, spreads positivity and joy, and improves well-being.
