This is one of my favorites and such an amazing growth & awareness! I have learned this (and teach it) many times... I guess we learn something until we completely understand its concept. This exercise, for me, brought my awareness back to life♡ This exercise is simple, just the words, themselves, help. I then teach finding the root. The difference with this Lesson (and the lessons before), we are also minimalizing, no 'big or small.'
'I am never upset for the reason I think. (inhale & continue on) There are no small upsets. They are all equally disturbing to my peace of mind.
This idea, like the preceding one, can be used with any person, situation or event you think is causing you pain. Apply it specifically to whatever you believe is the cause of your upset, using the description of the feeling in whatever term seems accurate to you. The upset may seem to be fear, worry, depression, anxiety, anger, hatred, jealousy or any number of forms, all of which will be perceived as different. This is not true. Until we learn that form does not matter, each form becomes a proper subject for the exercises for the day. Applying the same idea to each of them separately is the first step in ultimately recognizing they are all the same.
I am not angry at ______ for the reason I think.
I am not afraid of ______ for the reason I think.
Then examine your mind for whatever is distressing you, regardless of how much or how little you think it is doing so. You may also find yourself less willing to apply today's idea to some perceived sources of upset than to others (pick & choose what we think we should be getting rid of, as we have implied importance or significance). If this occurs, think first of this:
'I cannot keep this form of upset and let the others go. For the purposes of these exercises, then,
I will regard them all as the same.'
Then search your mind for no more than a minute or so, and try to identify a number of different forms of upset that are disturbing you, regardless of the relative importance you may give them. Apply the idea for today to each of them, using the name of both the source of the upset as you perceive it, and of the feeling as you experience it. Further examples are:
I am not worried about ______ for the reason I think.
I am not depressed about ______ for the reason I think.
Three or four times during the day is enough. Inhale, Breathe & Let it Go♡
Wishing you a Miraculous Journey♡
