Honestly for me, my daily habit is daily prayer. I chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo every morning and recite gongyo, which is the 2nd and 16th chapters from a Buddhist teaching called The Lotus Sutra. I’ve definitely seen positive changes in myself and my relationships with people when I chant. When I chant, I bring out my wisdom, courage and compassion and I try to bring all this greatness to my interactions with people. Of course, that doesn’t mean that all my relationships with people have been perfect; human relationships are still an area of my life that has been challenging. But I think having a daily spiritual practice has helped me zoom out and look at situations differently. I think having a daily habit that improves your quality of life is important, whether it’s prayer, practicing gratitude (which I need to do more of), meditation, exercise, brushing your teeth, taking a digital detox from your electronic devices, or a combination of good habits. Somehow having a good daily habit gives me something to look forward to for each day.
