It's Nothing Personal

An exploration of the impersonal nature of thoughts & feelings

Part of the “GOING DEEPER” Series

This essay addresses one of the most fundamental sticking points I've found people arriving at, when looking in the direction of the Innate Health (3 Principles / Inside-Out) understanding: innocently making it all about themselves.

How would you know you were stuck? Well, if any of these statements rings true for you, then this important crossroads may have been reached:

• “But how do I change my thinking?”
• “I should be able to stop this, now I know how it works”
• “I get that it's all thought, but telling myself that doesn't help”
• “I know all of this on an intellectual level, but I am not really living it”
• “I'm trying to remember to tell myself it's just thought.”

To guide you in the right direction, this pair of essays looks first at the impersonal nature of Thought and then Feelings. In doing so, it should help clear away another layer of innocent misunderstanding - one that may not have been apparent in your exploration to date.

In the second part, we then apply that new understanding to the topic of burnout.

This mini-bundle includes two versions of the essays: a PDF to read and an mp3 audio, narrated by the author.
