The E-Word is Sabotaging Your Life
Whenever we get frustrated with politics, with our partner, with the world, or even with our spiritual practice, we think it’s because something or someone needs to change.
But if we peel the layers back, the root cause is almost always something else.
We’ll call it the “e-word.”
The e-word convinces us that life should be different from what we’re actually experiencing. And that story creates a cage of frustration, disappointment, and anger—yanking us out of the present moment again and again.
Freedom from that cage requires us to face our relationship with the e-word—and to rewrite the story.
That’s what today’s Spiritual Perspective explores: how to break free from the self-inflicted cage.

In it, you’ll learn:
Why “explaining” yourself rarely leads to change
How to escape the circular argument trap
The real marker of maturity in difficult moments
How the e-word even jams you up in meditation
A practical way to get unstuck in real time
If this resonates, you may also enjoy:
To your freedom,
