It is possible to move through life with minimal struggle. Your outward action in harmony with the inner voice that guides you, doing the right thing for the right reason, with a feeling of the wind at your back, effortless. One school of thought is that if you are not busy doing something and staying on top of things, you will lose your edge and your effectiveness. This attitude can create an over-active mind, prone to excessive worry and stress. The Art of Struggle Reduction takes a different approach. Moving through life with minimal worry, stress, and struggle makes one more effective, not less.
Imagine walking straight through an empty room to the other side instead of winding your way through piles of clutter. The heart of Struggle Reduction is less clutter, a mind that is settled and clear is at peace. Tom Diffenderfer is a licensed counselor & author of The Art of Struggle Reduction. Call or email him to schedule struggle reduction sessions.
Peace is a natural state, and when the mind is settled, peace exists. So, what causes the mind to become unsettled? Many forms of negative, irrational, thinking and self-talk. Simply put, it is our own internal struggle that kidnaps our minds from the awareness of peace. So, the question is not how does one find peace, but how does one reduce struggle.
