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…
From Path to Peace With Todd Perelmuter Newsletter Hello my friend, That thing you’re worried about, that problem you’re trying to solve, that goal you’re trying to reach, those hard challenges you’ve faced — they aren’t that important. I know it seems like life or death, but it’s really just life stuff. We are the ones who make everything so urgent and important-seeming. We create the pressure and stress. We…
From Path to Peace With Todd Perelmuter Newsletter Hello my friend, A lot of people think they need to quit their job, move to the mountains, and live in an ashram or monastery if they are ever going to find peace and happiness.

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…

From Path to Peace With Todd Perelmuter Newsletter Hello my friend, I was flipping back through an old journal and I saw an entry that made me laugh today. A few years ago, I was meditating very studiously and I was having a very blissful day — cloud nine, head in the clouds, and floating along. When a very negative, complaining, screeching neighbor decided to start banging on my walls and…
From Path to Peace With Todd Perelmuter NewsletterHello my friend,The other day, I was goofing around with my friend and I started laughing so hard my sides hurt, water shot out my nose, and I was crying two waterfalls down my face. And it was awesome. Every single muscle fiber in my body relaxed, there was no thought — it was just pure joy.That’s when it occurred to me: dying from…
Stop Outsourcing Your HappinessWhen we expect others to make us feel better, we become the outsourcer of our own happiness. And while it can be very healing to have close people in our lives who we can share our problems with, sharing can all too easily turn into dumping. When we dump all our problems onto others with the expectation of them making us feel better, we are not valuing the…
Imagine a person standing with their arms stretched out to both sides. Someone is standing on each side of this person pulling their arms in opposite directions with all their might.
