Loving Kindness is the first practice that I can and would like to implement in my life. Everything bad you have ever heard about California drivers is probably true. I find myself to be an unkind person when I am driving and see other people do stupid things. I have even told myself that my thoughts or words are not following loving kindness. I do not like the way I feel when I get angry with others on the road. Maybe it is because they are strangers to me, but I know that it is not a healthy way to react. I need to learn to just accept others actions as mistakes and let it go without much thought or reaction.
The second practice I would like to implement is the subtle mind. As with loving kindness, I need to learn to calm my mind so I can calm my reactions. I often find myself dwelling on past situations that I cannot change and therefore am wasting my time thinking about. My mind is very busy and cluttered, so I would like to learn to let go of things that really are not important. I would like to train my mind to focus on more important things, especially my own well-being.
