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…
From Path to Peace With Todd Perelmuter Newsletter Hello my friend, Why are so many of us unhappy? Why are we all coping with stress instead being free from it?

If we really look at our society, happiness is…
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.

If we strive to be in the top 1% of being our authentic selves, we all have the potential to…
We are killing the present moment every time we relive a memory, wishing it were now. When we are stuck in the past, when we are reliving our childhoods in our minds over and over again, longing for those simple, better days, this is common when we had an idyllic childhood and maybe our lives turned out differently than we expected. Or we just long for those days that were…
The first step to becoming happy is realizing how we are making ourselves unhappy. This is very hard to see because we are certain that something outside of us is making us unhappy, that some event from our past is preventing us from being happy, that there is some defect within us that prevents us from allowing ourselves to smile, to love.If we were in a constant state of loving…
We often notice that when people are faking positivity and pressuring positivity, we tend to find that this is really a desperate cry for help. Because they are unable to face reality.
