Episode notes
Meaning Is What You Assign To Divorce
- Divorce is an event whose meaning is assigned by your perceptions and expectations.
- John Demartini explains that you can make a heaven out of a hell or a hell out of a heaven by how you interpret the divorce.
Balance The Equation By Listing Benefits
- Do list the upsides and benefits of the divorce across spiritual, intellectual, business and financial domains.
- John Demartini advises holding yourself accountable to balance the equation until perceived upsides equal the downsides.
Run The Event Instead Of Letting It Run You
- Do decide whether the event will run you or you will run it and aim for neutral perspective.
- Demartini warns extremes (elation or depression) come from amygdala-driven polarity and recommends seeing both sides simultaneously.
