Refrain from harmful speech. Cultivate loving speech and deep listening. Commit to cultivating good health by practicing mindful eating, drinking and consuming. Refrain from ingesting toxins into your body and mind. Meditation and mindfulness are essential elements of the path.
Meditation helps calm the mind and can lead to insight.
Mindfulness is living in the present moment and being aware of our body and mind and what is really happening in the here and now. Another essential element of the path is Right Effort. Right effort is taking the action to bring about change to achieve happiness. If you realize that you have problems and that the cause of these problems is not external but within you, you can decide to correct the source of the problem. Your problems will not go away by changing jobs, partners or where you live.
