It cuts down trees and it's work.. what could there exist that is worse? okay exaggerating, but. It is the stuff which gives the bureaucratic government a bad name.
Another type of work on paper is called The Work Of Byron Katie. Disclaimer: This is not my original Idea, and I do not own any of these thoughts:
SO the back bone of The Work is the belief that all war belongs on paper.
War is defined in this sense as the stressful thoughts you think in your head.
After doing the following Work I feel happier, and truer to myself. Also great PEACE. Like the final sigh of a day after work.
The Work of Byron Katie:
Think a stressful thought.
Write it down.
Ask yourself (kindly):
1.Is it true? (Yes/ No answers only) (if No skip to question three)
2.Can you absolutely know it is true? (Yes/ No answers only)
3.How do you feel when you think this thought? In your body? In your actions? (write it down)
4. Who would you be without this thought? How would you act? How would you feel? (write it down)
Now you've established that the thought is stressful and without the thought you would feel better. SO how do you change your thinking to get rid of all that stress????
The Turn-around
Def: Three sentences which are the opposite of your original sentence.
ex: (original thought) I can't stand those politicians!
(three new thoughts turned around)
When I can't stand the politicians I can't stand myself.
I can stand the politicians, but I don't have to stand for them.
I don't have to stand those politicians. I can turn off the T.V.
Can you see how the three turn-around's are as true or truer than the original stressful thought?
Thank you ladies and gentlemen that was The Work of Byron Katie
(*Applause*)
