Stress, depression or unhappiness are the not our enemies, merely the signals that perhaps we are seeking to meet a need of ours through an inefficient or unrealistic strategy. I re-read that chapter twice to make sure I was not missing anything that made me draw my initial conclusion, but I still felt the same after re-reading. The key, in my mind, is to accept that things that "shouldn't" happen sometimes do anyway, that you have no control over other people's choices, and that sometimes that really hurts, and then move on with a determination to try not to hurt others the same way, to ease pain instead of cause it, not to accept that bad things *should* happen because they did. when, what's usually the most helpful, I believe, is seeking understanding as to why or in what context something is true or false, not merely asking if it is or isn't.

What the process did for me was to help me clarify my part in the difficulties I was facing so I could let the rest go.A life-transforming system for discarding the stories at the source of our suffering, this is your guide to finding inner peace and happiness. They describe how, without any conscious intention, the mind notices each stressful thought and undoes it before it can cause any suffering. This question asks for thorough investigation of what is true, as well as an accounting of whether this business belongs to you, someone else, or God. This question also asks if you can think of a reason to drop the thought, or a stress-free reason to keep it.
