How I Learned to Be Okay With Being Misunderstood

from Path to Peace with Todd Perelmuter · host Todd Perelmuter

Send me a messageWe know that people will lie. We know that people will say hurtful things because they've been hurt. We know that what people say about us can have absolutely nothing to do with us. And we know that people judge, blame, and criticize in ways that have no relationship to the truth.So why then do their words hurt so much? Why do we suffer so deeply when people slander us? And why do we take things so personally that are in no way personal?It's because our mind can know something, but unless our subconscious mind and body know it too, we don't really know it. We only know it intellectually, but deep down in our gut we are clueless.In this podcast, I share my own struggles with being misunderstood. I talk about how I overcame people's lies, judgments, and cruelties. And I share the simple, profound, and easy ways we can all understand at the deepest level that other people's thoughts and words are none of our concern.Please enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living.
