From Path to Peace With Todd Perelmuter Newsletter Hello my friend, I had an interesting week. Imagine you’re out of the country for a few months. You rented a parking space at a storage facility to park your car. Then one day you get a call from the storage company that they are under new management and they can’t find your car. They tell you the name of a towing…
Human beings are remarkably good at thinking. We are so good at it that we do it whether we want to or not. We do it practically 24/7. At least every second of our waking life is practically 100% consumed by thinking. Unless we’re doing some activity that forces us into the present moment, we are pretty much always lost in thought. Those activities that take us out of our…
From Path to Peace With Todd Perelmuter NewsletterHello my friend,The way we react in life always comes down to how we want to react. When an impulse comes up, we react to it based on what we want. Sometimes those wants come at the expense of our long-term well-being. Sometimes we forgo immediate gratification and short-term pleasure in exchange for lasting happiness and health. But whichever we choose, it is…
There is something I’ve noticed throughout my life that has been consistent, and I’ve noticed it in every other person’s life I’ve had the chance to witness. I call it the Law of Best Possible Outcomes. What I mean is that even though terrible things happen in all of our lives, some more than others, I’ve noticed that these often tragic events become turning points. They lead us to new…
From Path to Peace With Todd Perelmuter Newsletter Hello my friend, I understand the urge. I’ve been there. Something crazy happens in my life, and my first instinct is to pull out my phone. Read the news. Scroll endlessly on social media. Distract myself until my stress and anxiety pass. Several years ago, before I learned what I’m about to share, I would get lost in my phone for days…
1. Stop Thinking Your Way Out of Overthinking We cannot think our way out of overthinking. We cannot force our mind to stop thinking negative thoughts. And we can't undo anxiety if we are anxiously trying to get rid of it. But we can cultivate a more positive mindset. When we feel low, combining wisdom with calm brings about heightened state of presence. We all have a higher intelligence within…
Most of us don’t like to be bored. We do whatever we can to avoid it. We are almost addicted to filling the silence, filling the spaces in our day, and avoiding it at all costs.When I was a kid, it was a lot harder to escape boredom. TV shows were on all day, but only the good ones were on at night. If I wanted to watch a movie,…
We all have these most advanced, incredible bodies of infinite potential. When we lose our gratefulness, we lose sight of our infinite nature. Instead of seeing infinite possibilities, we see only obstacles. But when we are grateful for ourselves, we know we can overcome anything, that there is nothing that somebody else has that we do not possess in terms of our inner ability. Every single one of us wins.…
A few years ago, I was driving to Michigan to go to my best friend's wedding when I got a call a few hours out of town that there was a fire. I got a call from this fireman, and he asked if I lived in the unit where the fire was. I told him no. And he said, “Okay, good, good, good.” Then he called back and said, “I…
Minimalism is a practice that can really help us appreciate what we have and be very mindful about what we need, what we want, and what isn't contributing to our well-being. So often we're surrounded by stuff that we don't want, that we'll never use, and that is just creating clutter in our house, in our lives, and in our minds. So if we start to really notice what we…
