[quote=Anonymous]Buddhist-inspired philosophy. (I call it that because I don’t know enough about the religion itself to know whether it’s “really” Buddhism...) Try something by Pema Chodron and see if it speaks to you. Any local public library should have at least one of her books. Everyone thinks of mindfulness with those books, and that’s definitely a big part of the philosophy, but personally it’s not the aspect that most speaks to me. What has been life-changing for me is a concept of flaws and difficulty being an inherent part of everything in life. Life became much easier to take once I started viewing the life challenges and difficult phases as natural and changeable rather than something I was responsible for fixing. There’s also a similar concept of just noticing and accepting unpleasant emotions and, essentially, lovingly waiting them out without letting them get to us so much. [/quote]
