Knock on the sky and listen to the sound. - Zen proverb
Sometimes we need to distract ourselves from the funkiness of daily happenings that stir up frustrations and anger. As Robert Adams says, "The only freedom we've got is not to react to anything, but to turn within and know the truth."

Search for quotations that have a positive effect. Let them transport you to a place of wonder and encourage expression of insights instead of reactivity.
Place them on your computer screen or in a box near your work space.
When the mind monsters scatter your beneficial thoughts, read them and take a few deep breaths.
Imagine yourself in a natural place of tranquility.
Write to ward off the onslaughts of frustration and defuse anger.
Hunt and gather words for serenity. Develop your own word mantras discovered in nature's tranquility.
