WHEN WE RETIRE AT NIGHT, we constructively review our day. Were we resentful, selfish, dishonest or afraid? Do we owe an apology? Have we kept something to ourselves which should be discussed with another person at once?
Were we kind and loving toward all? What could we have done better? Were we thinking of ourselves most of the time? Or were we thinking of what we could do for others? After making our review we ask God's forgiveness and inquire what corrective measures should be taken.
ON AWAKENING, let us think about the twenty four hours ahead. We consider our plans for the day. Before we begin, we ask God to direct our thinking, especially asking that it be divorced from self-pity, dishonesty or self seeking motives. In thinking about our day we may face indecision. We may not be able to determine which course to take.
Here we ask God for inspiration, an intuitive thought or a decision. We relax and take it easy. We don't struggle. We are often surprised how the right answers come after we tried this for a while. Wha t used to be the hunch or the occasional inspiration gradually becomes a working part of the mind.
WE USUALLY CONCLUDE the period of meditation with a prayer but we ask that we be shown all through the day what our next step is to be, that we be given whatever we need to take care of such problems.
AS WE GO THROUGH THE DAY we pause, when agitated or doubtful, and ask the right thought or action. We constantly remind our-selves we are no longer running the show, humbly saying to ourselves many times each day
