Today's lesson - Be responsive not reactive by looking at things a different better way.

Today's lesson is number 33 in A Course In Miracles which is "There is another way of looking at the world."

The goal here is to be responsive and not reactive. Don't get your chain yanked. Don't get your buttons pushed. Don't let your goat get gotten.

How?

Back off. Stand down. Take a time out. Change the subject. Walk away. Take a deep breath and say to yourself with a laugh, "There is another way of looking at this shit."

Simply, chill.

You can chill by calming down and "turning it over" as they say in Alcoholic Anonymous. Easy does it. Take things one day at a time or one step at a time or one moment at a time.

Get things in perspective, become objective, and then do the next best right thing.

When you are upset, remind yourself that there is another way of looking at things. Choose again.

Unitarian Universalists covenant together to affirm and promote the goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all. UUs believe that there is another way of looking at the world than the path of the ego would have us believe.
