8 DAYS OF AFFIRMATIONS FOR NONVIOLENCE IN RECREATION

Day 27, February 25:

Today, I choose activities for recreation that involve peace and invite others to join me in the experience.

Whether doing things that relieve tension and build friendship such as singing, dancing, board games, card games, joining friends for dinner, or a friendly golf game…or doing something with people to nudge the world in a positive direction for your community, enjoy involving others in peaceful, joyous, heart-expanding experiences today.

We learn to practice nonviolence one step at a time, one choice at a time, one day at a time. This is how each of us, in our own way, moves the world in the direction of peace. This is the Season for Nonviolence.

This is a part of 64 days of affirmations commemorating the Season for Nonviolence, the span of days between the deaths of Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr.  These writings have been adapted from 64 Days and Ways to Practice Nonviolence by the Global New Thought Movement and Compassionate Activism for Global Healing by the Association for Global New Thought and added to by Tanya Mayer and Paul Friedman. They are grouped in 9 categories: nonviolence toward self, in close relationships, in my communication, in recreation, in my perspective of others, in daily living, in work, for mother earth and in our world.
