lesson 5 â??I am never upset for the reason I think.â?? This idea, like the preceding one, can be used with any person, situation or event you think is causing you pain.Apply it speciï¬?cally 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. However, until you 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 ï¬?rst step in ultimately recognizing they are all the same. When using the idea for today for a speciï¬?c perceived cause of an upset in any form,use both the name of the form in which you see the upset,and the cause which you ascribe to it.For example: â??I am not angry at ____ for the reason I think.â?? â??I am not afraid of ____ for the reason I think.â?? But again, this should not be substituted for practice periods in which you ï¬?rst search your mind for â??sourcesâ??of upset in which you believe,and forms of upset which you think result. In these exercises, more than in the preceding ones, you may ï¬?nd it hard to be indiscriminate,and to avoid giving greater weight to some subjects than to others. It might help to precede the exercises with the statement: â??There are no small upsets.They are all equally disturbing to my peace of mind.â?? 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 ï¬?nd yourself less willing to apply todayâ??s idea to some perceived sources of upset than to others.If this occurs,think
