“One by one, watchfully and painstakingly, I will replace them with constructive attitudes.” (ODAT, 6 October)
My job is to act as guard for the mind.
When a negative thought presents, I must:
(a) Turn it away
(b) Replace the attitude that prompted it with a new one.
What is the new attitude?
One of cheerful equanimity and the desire to construct something better from the accepted baseline of today.
