Think about driving. There may be traffic, you might get cut off, or make a wrong turn. Remind yourself that you want to drive, but you also want to remain content in life. Whenever you get ready to do anything, think about what’s coming and what obstacles could pop up. Then add a phrase about your higher goal: “I also want to be content” or “I want to be in harmony with life” or “I want to protect my best self.”
