This month we're going to look at an application of Gratitude Principle #2 - Nonresistance - and see how not applying it can mess up our lives.

**************************************************************

"What upsets people is not the things themselves, but their judgements about the things. " -- Epictetus

This month I have had the opportunity to review a book by psychologist Michael Edelstein titled "Three Minute Therapy: Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life". As you might guess, the title got my attention right away. The idea that changing your life is accomplished by changing your thinking is central to everything that I teach.

He begins the book with the quote from the Greek philosopher Epictetus shown above. You can see how this quote states the same idea that you'll find on page 7 of the Gratitude ebook in the quote from Byron Katie, "All the stress that we feel is caused by arguing with what is."

The essential point in nonresistance is that we don't argue with reality being what it is. We respond, we may take action based on that reality, but we don't argue that it "shouldn't" be that way, or that it "must" be different.

Edelstein shows that when we get upset we like to believe that the event or person "made" us upset. We leave out the important step between the event and the feeling, which is our thinking or beliefs about it. Usually this thinking contains some version of the idea that someone or something (yourself, the universe, your spouse, your boss) absolutely "must" be a certain way, or else.

He shows that this "musty" thinking can often cause serious psychological distress - including depression, phobias, substance abuse, busted relationships and a host of other issues. For an extraordinary example, see Byron Katie's personal story in her book, "Loving What Is."

Do you see why I have that chapter on nonresistance in the book? Your happiness is directly proportional to your practice of nonresistance. Of course, it's impossible to feel grateful when you're arguing with reality, and it's a life of gratitude that helps create a peaceful, happy state of mind.

Edelstein has developed a powerful set of exercises that you can use to tackle issues in your life that are being created by "musty" thinking. He shows you how to differentiate the practical problem, which may be how to deal with the person or event, from the emotional problem caused by your thinking. Just being able to separate those two factors can be a major step forward.

If you combine Edelstein's exercises with the application of the law of polarity discussed in the ebook, you'll be well on your way to a nonresistant life. And that'll give you a lot to be grateful for!

In a couple of weeks I'm going to be joining a promotion from the publisher for Edelstein's book and you'll be able to get it along with a lot of bonuses.So be looking for the announcement.

Have a great month. I am grateful for each and every one of you!

Peace and love,
Wes
