How to Use Any Negative Reaction to Give You a Fresh Start in Life

"Step Outside the Box." All we know to do with unwanted moments is to resist them. The mind "names the pain" and then turns to the past to resolve the pain. It looks "inside the box" for a way to "get outside of the box". This is a useless struggle. The only way to get outside of the box is to realize that you've never been inside of it. 

The pain of the resistance is NOT your "enemy"; it is your ally. It can be used as an integral part in the birth of something new, rather than the reincarnation of something old. Work to "step outside the box". In an unwanted moment, work to slide a silent question in to interrupt the usual dialogue, i.e., "What has this moment come to reveal to me?", "What other choices can I make in this moment other than not want it?" "Is there something else here for me to want?" Be willing to use the moment to learn something about the "box-maker", instead of letting this nature imprison you.
