**Friday Inspriation** I am never upset for the reason I think

A Course in Miracles

Teaches us that “I am never upset for the reason I think”

This idea can be used with any person, situation or event you think is causing you pain.
So, take a look at your life right now and notice if there is any upset, anger, fear, worry, depression.
Notice why you THINK you are upset,
And try the following:
When the feeling of upset comes, say to yourself I am not ( angry, afraid, depressed ) for the reason I think.
Then, take a moment to examine the layer underneath the upset.
Notice how much history comes into play.
Notice the story you are carrying about the upset.
Notice the rational you have for feeling the way you feel.

For example, let's say your partner didn't take out the trash
You would say, "I am not angry at my partner for the reason I think. "
As you consider underlying reasons for your upset you may find that you are actually more afraid than angry
You may be afraid that you will always have to do all the housework in your partnership
Or that you cannot count on your partner to keep an agreement
As you begin to unravel the true source of your upset
You will understand options for addressing the true concern
And you will move closer to being truly free from your pain.

We want to remind you that you may not be upset for the reason you think.
And that you have the power to heal the true source of your upset.

· Do you walk to the market instead of driving?
· Do you always invest the maximum in your retirement accounts?
