From Path to Peace With Todd Perelmuter Newsletter Hello my friend, We’ve got a serious problem in the West. We treat life as something to get through. We act as though we just want to get it over with already! Nearly everything we do is seen as an inconvenience getting in the way of our peace and happiness. But when does the peace and happiness come? When we’re sleeping? When…
From Path to Peace With Todd Perelmuter Newsletter Hello my friend, How silly is it that we love people by worrying about them? Is putting our worries onto our loved ones truly love? And is it possible to love without worrying? To truly love someone is to care for them, not get agitated and pass our stress onto them. Don’t worry, just love. That’s the greatest act we can do…
From Path to Peace With Todd Perelmuter Newsletter Hello my friend, Does every little inconvenience, unexpected expense, obstacle, delay, and detour cause a freakout? Do you anticipate disasters before you’re sure if they’re even going to happen? It’s a funny thing when we start to notice the correlation between stress and reaction time. If we’re always on edge, we react immediately. If our reaction time is in milliseconds, we’re always…
From Path to Peace With Todd Perelmuter Newsletter Hello my friend, Ever noticed what happens when we manage our stress? It keeps coming back. The cycle never breaks. We get stressed, we blow off steam (with entertainment, pleasurable experiences, social gatherings, exercise, work, or food and substances), and repeat. This is because we never get to the core of stress. We only manage the symptoms. What we really want is…
From Path to Peace With Todd Perelmuter Newsletter Hello my friend, Nearly all of us are living on a hamster wheel. As if by compulsion, when we feel stress/anxiety/fear/anger, we run away. And yet, those painful thoughts and emotions are never far behind. So we run and run and run. Most of us will spend our whole lives running. The first impulse is to escape, avoid, deny, and distract. We…
From Path to Peace With Todd Perelmuter Newsletter Hello my friend, If every problem we have stems from the same cause, then by rooting out that cause we can solve all our problems. But is it really that simple? Could it really be that easy? Actually, it is. Problems do not exist in the world. They exist in our minds. We have desires, and when the undesirable happens, we label…
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…
