“how I experience each moment of my life. To help me overcome my unconscious resistance and accept life exactly as it is, I will apply the 5 Minute Rule (setting a timer and giving myself five minutes to feel whatever emotions naturally arise within me). Then, when the timer goes off, I will simply say, “Can’t change it” to acknowledge and remind myself that, since I can’t go back in time and change whatever happened, my only logical choice is to accept and be at peace with what I can’t change so that I can experience Inner Freedom. Remember, acceptance is the key that unlocks the door to Inner Freedom. Last, I will remember that being at peace with something doesn’t necessarily mean I’m happy about it. But thankfully, peace is a state of consciousness that is far more powerful and sustainable than any short-lived emotion. Peace is emotionally neutral, and from that state, I can choose to be happy, grateful, or any other state that serves me. B: Be Grateful for Each Moment”
