Embrace the Resistance

It is a challenge to establish a calm and orderly and harmonious household.

All the demands that are being made on us are often overwhelming.

As we steady our course, we are able to provide a steadying hand for others in our household.

Our growing conviction of calm results in practices which help steady our household.

Even if there is resistance, there is a gentle way forward.

We find the tiny steps that each one can take to begin the work of building a strong foundation.

The tiny steps become habitual as we nurture them over and over.

The tiny steps collect and accumulate into habits.

Everyone begins to pull their weight.

As they gain in competence, they gain in confidence.

The new foundation is taking hold.

A collective feeling of calm begins to pervade the household.

The calm spaces provide room for happiness.

Even the persistent confusion and distraction from the outside world finds resistance in the calm of an orderly household.

We gravitate to what comforts us.

Order and peace always prevail.

It is always worth it to return to the tiny steps we nurtured and to revisit them.

They are the power which resists confusion and establishes the order and peace and happiness we all crave.

Our routines and creativity give us the foundation and happiness that are possible.

It is always worth involving everyone in this practice.

Even the tiniest step towards order and harmony makes an impact.

It lodges deep inside in a place that is waiting for it within each individual.

It overrides the constant bombardment that resists peace and establishes the natural harmony of the household.
