Occasionally it is useful to write down ones understanding. Here is one I did a while back. Do you have a practice reminder?
Our Mind Empty
Our Body Formless
Our Spirit Gone
Chant With Silent Voices The Unheard Dharma
Birth The Truth Before Conception
Enlighten The Enlightened
Surpass The Greatest - The Buddha
Hear What Can Not Be Spoken - The Dharma
Be The True Society - The Sangha
Sacred Warriors Of Buddhism
Transform Obstacles Empowering All Beings
The Clear Light Shall Shine Away Ignorance
All Is Within
Imperfection Is Perfect
Attainment Is All For Nothing
May Intent Be Pure
May Action Be True
May Knowing Be Increased
All Is Dependent On Us
Vow To Dissolve All Sense Of Self
Vow To Alter All To Awareness
Vow To Change Pain To Bliss
Angered By Temper
Clear About Delusion
Crave No Desire
Free Of Emptiness
Free Of Progress
Free Of Freedom
Impermanence Is Transitory
Suffering And Unsatisfactoriness Are Acceptable
What Is Within Is Without
What Is Without Is Within
Throw Away To Gain
Purest Realization Of Impurity
Reveal The Unhidden Secret
Ever Aware Of The Present
One Enters The Eternal Void
And Ceases To Be
Devoid Of Time
Devoid Of Place
Devoid Of Size
Nothing Astonishes The Void

Mine certainly ain't original but I chant them fairly often:
I take refuge until I am awakened in the Buddhas, the Dharma and the Sangha,
through the merit I create by engaging in generosity and the other far reaching practices,
may I attain Buddahood in order to benefit all sentient beings.
and:
Due to this merit may we soon attain the enlightened state of guru Buddha,
that we may be able to liberate all sentient beings from their sufferings,
may the precious bodhi mind not yet born arise and grow,
may that born have no decline but increase forever more.
Buddha gals won't you come out tonight,come out tonight,come out tonight Buddha gals won't you come out tonight and chant by the light of the moon.
"All conditions are transient." That's it for me, I can't remember more than one thing at a time anyway.
When the crap is about to hit the fan...My practice reminder is this famous quote by the Buddha.....(Well thus have I heard that he said something along these lines )
"Don't worry be happy" ....it works for me
