Make some emotional changes. Keep a gratitude journal. Gratitude is more than an attitude: It's a way of approaching life, determined to acknowledge even the smallest moments of goodness and beauty.

This is because you are more likely to work harder and pay more attention when you are in a new, slightly uncomfortable situation. Things to consider include the crime rate, the unemployment rate, the average cost of living and property cost, and whether there are experiences available that match your culture and interests.

Plan a visit to see whether you would enjoy living there. The more information you can gather, the better prepared you will be to embark on your new life. In some cases, you must cut people out of your life for your own safety. Interpersonal functioning and relationships are crucial to improving how you feel about yourself and your life. They are hyper-critical or judgmental of you. They say mean or vicious things about you, to your face or behind your back. Recovering addicts often must learn to avoid the places where they used to spend time, as well as many of their old friends, in order to avoid addiction triggers that could cause a relapse.

If you are a recovering alcoholic, spending time with your old drinking buddies in your favorite bar would probably put far too much pressure on you and could cause you to take up drinking again.

Call your doctor or a mental health professional. Make changes along the way. Learning to adapt to roadblocks and challenges will be necessary as you live your new life. When you encounter challenges, recognize them as such and do what you need to adapt. You could view this as a failure and the destruction of your dreams, or you could go back to the drawing board and determine whether there are other things you can do that will also allow you to express those core values. The truth is, going to a therapist can be a lot like seeing your dentist for a cleaning: I am beaten by my family members.

They torture me mentally, physically and verbally. Right now I don't have a job or extra money. I want to quit my family and start a fresh life. What should I do?

Try making a list of pros and cons regarding the potential options. I had kept in touch with many of my old friends and would run into them occasionally. It now seemed to me that everyone else had a head start in life on me. They already had families and had established successful businesses and careers or had made a name for themselves in some other way.

I felt like I had missed out on something. I began to notice as I would talk with old friends though that several of them had been divorced once or twice, and some of them were nasty breakups. Several had struck out on their own in search of fortune and fame only to return years later penniless and bitter. A few ended up in substance abuse rehabilitation and a few more needed to go there. I began to notice a sense of desperation and despair in them. None of them looked or acted like they were contented. Years earlier I had been given a book by Vernon Howard.

I believe it was Pathways to Perfect Living. I read it and moved on, not having understood much of it. Old habits die hard. But now as my life was moving along I went back and reread it. It started to make sense of what I was seeing in the world all around me. At times it seemed like Vernon was speaking specifically about me. As I read on, I noticed that most of what he wrote was in fact true.

The stories were entertaining and each had a lesson. As I continued to read I saw that he was right about more than I originally thought. I began to suspect that he was right about everything! I was fortunate enough to have heard him speak in person and it was clear that there was something very unique about him.

He knew me better than I knew myself. And he had made the extraordinary effort to communicate the lessons of life through his books, tapes and lectures. He told us to take what he taught and to prove it for ourselves. The more I did the more I saw it was true. I now have a much better understanding of the world in which we all live. I understand our purpose here and have been told what we should be doing. I remember hearing a whole talk by Vernon on Understanding.

He said that was all we needed. I remember seeing an inner reaction of disappointment and resistance. But 1 by persistence, 2 by continuing to study, 3 by breaking thought and trying to stay awake, 4 by remembering to ask for higher help, 5 by keeping notes nearby to help us remember to do the work, and 6 by practicing self-release when we are nervous or in pain, everything gradually changes.

Our attitudes change, because we now see that understanding really is what we need. Now, there is nothing in life more rewarding, more exciting, than gaining more understanding. Taking a truth statement like the following one, writing it down, and working with it helps understanding to grow. I have been calling them me, but they are not me. This is what separates us from who we really are. This is the only problem any of us has. It is very exciting to become a better detective and to expose the hoaxer, the hypocrite, the insolent impostor, the pain causer, and in the process, to get our life back.

Indeed, if we are honest about what we see, and will go through the hell of becoming conscious of the unconscious e. Nothing is more practical. And there are still many parts which would rather sleep and parts that want to be lazy. It is truly thrilling when one sees that by really doing the work, outer problems start to disappear. What was a giant crisis for me recently became a little molehill by following the instructions of turning my attention to the inner condition and staying with the pain, the fear, the inner chaos.

By not trying to find an answer to the problem with the thought-self and by practicing self-release, I can move up the mountainside. Vernon gave us a chance for something incredible. Today, I was in our parking garage and I heard a construction worker loudly complaining. Apparently something had gone wrong and he was letting the world know all about it. Later in the day, while working on a project, I caught myself growing angry over an inconsequential mistake.

First, I suffer because of my reactions to the events of life and second, this suffering is completely unnecessary. And what a terribly disappointing sight it can be. My image of myself and the reality of my self collide! Not a calm and collected man? Not someone who faces uncertainty with equanimity? See yourself as you actually are and not as you imagine you are. This is the way to freedom.

Once I see the pain I cause myself by wanting to destroy the world because the screwdriver slipped off the screw, that seeing changes me. This is my daily work. A hundred times a day, I must look inside and see myself, see what is actually going on in there. Yesterday at our Sunday New Life meeting, I was given an even deeper insight. Everyday from now on for the rest of my days, I have a purpose. Now that is true help. For many years I was completely lost and confused about how to handle everything in my life — the failed relationships, angry people I would encounter at work, my finances, etc.

Someone always presented a solution for my problems, which always failed to provide a lasting solution. I might find a tiny bit of relief for awhile, but the feeling of desperation always came back. Why am I in so much pain? Why are there so many problems in my life?

It is not on my side but is working against me. I realized with a shock that my own mental chatter was driving me crazy. From the moment I got up until the very end of the day, everything was rush, rush, rush. Just by slowing down, I could see and understand how I was giving over precious moments of my life to negativity. I work in the medical profession where I do encounter difficult and angry people all of the time. I had no idea how to handle these patients. No matter how hard I tried I would get angry too which of course only made matters worse.

By the end of the day I was emotionally drained. Why was I allowing angry people to drain my energy? How could I apply Vernon Howard principles in this area of my life? I chose to use two exercises that really appealed to me because though I knew my old nature would protest, I sensed that applying these particular principles would lead to a lifting of the heavy burden of my own anger.

The first principle is to let the other person win and the second is to turn the attention back on myself at the crucial moment of confrontation. In the past, I was always depending on myself. I wanted to win the argument. I wanted to be right. I wanted to fight and win!

The New Life

By turning the attention back on myself, I was able to see what an angry person I am. Looking inside at my mind and observing that it is constantly thinking and thinking — the contrast is startling! But we have been given so many tools to break the spell of the mind and to return to our true spiritual home. Some of the most valuable of these are the spiritual exercises Vernon has given us in abundance. This must be done honestly and truthfully and not just done to quiet the pain.
