Making a Change for Good

Recommended Book: Making a Change for Good by Cheri Huber

In Making a Change for Good, Zen teacher Cheri Huber explains how our social conditioning encourages distraction and suggests some concrete strategies for increasing compassionate presence, like meditation and learning to “dis-identify” with inner voices. Huber’s gentle approach is enhanced by the book’s handwritten text and illustrations, which concludes with a 30-day guided program of meditation and journaling to get you started on the road to positive change.

Exercise: The Art of Compassionate Self-Discipline

This article describes Cheri Huber’s 4-question framework for taking daily, positive action (even just 10 minutes worth!) and practicing compassionate self-inquiry. It also suggests a great way to get on the expanding “cycle of positive change” we discussed in the workshop. Remember the saying, “How you do anything is how you do everything”? Pilar learned that line from Cheri Huber, and she suggests you read this in conjunction with the "Book Ends" article described above. A great way to build your Goal Flowers and to keep your detox commitment going strong — and if you’ve had a few setbacks, to learn from them!
