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, This world is full of madness. Anger, cruelty, mindlessness, immaturity, jealousy, and hatred are in no short supply. This kind of insanity seems to be the most highly renewable resource there is. So, why are we going around reacting to other people’s insanity — defending ourselves, fighting back, and letting them drive us crazy? To fight with a crazy person…
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 NewsletterHello my friend,As the holiday season approaches, I’m reminded of my friends and family who long for the celebrations.They build the holidays up in their mind. They look so forward to them and make them into such a big deal. But then when they finally arrive, they’re already living in the future and sad it’s going to be over soon.Many of us slog…
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…
From Path to Peace With Todd Perelmuter Newsletter Hello my friend, What did you do this morning? Before your real day began? When it was just you, your choices, your time? Was it enriching? Life fulfilling? Energizing? Healthy? Productive? Peaceful? I have not always been great at mornings. I would start the day scrolling negative things on my phone, like the news or social media. Or check emails and see…
From Path to Peace With Todd Perelmuter Newsletter Hello my friend, Often in life, our desire for happiness makes us even more unhappy. When I first went off on my spiritual adventures around the world, I was traveling alone. After a few months of being on my own, seeing a group of friends talking and laughing would make me jealous and sad. Being alone didn’t make me sad. Wanting happiness…
