Path to Peace with Todd PerelmuterWhat Does Todd Do When Life Gets Mundane?No one is immune from life happening — the ebbs and flows, the ups and downs, the exciting and the monotonous. But it is this variety that makes life a beautiful tapestry.Someone recently asked me what I do when I get sucked into the mundanity of life. So, what tips and tricks can we employ when life gets boring or repetitive? And is it our external situation that needs change, or our internal one?

These egos tear families apart, break up lovers, ruin friendships, and turn strangers into enemies. So how did we get here? Why do we have these egos? Are our egos protecting us or hurting ourselves and our relationships?In this podcast episode, I talk about how we can forgive without getting hurt again, love without limits or fear, and trust without getting taken advantage of. The more we grow in mindfulness, the smaller our ego gets, and the easier it becomes to set dow...2023-03-2425 minPath to Peace with Todd PerelmuterWhy Does it Feel Wrong to Seek Inner Peace While Grieving?Grief is so much more than a personal journey. It's how we show our love for our those we've lost to our friends and family. It's communal and it's one of the ways we all come together to heal.But, we also all heal in our own way. Because there is no one right or wrong way to grieve, we may feel guilty if we don't conform in how we grieve. We may feel like celebrating the deceased's life instead of mourning the death. We may even laugh or smile as we remember funny stories....2023-03-1726 minPath to Peace with Todd PerelmuterHow to Stop Judging Yourself and OthersWe've all got these judgmental, opinionated, critical voices in our head — relics from a time where humans lived in the wild and in constant physical danger. Today, we live in relative safety, but whether we're at the office, in traffic, or a line at the supermarket, our bodies are in an almost constant state of stress. This subtle constant stress puts our judgmental mind into overdrive. Instead of judging whether footprints are from a tiger or a harmless cat, we judge whether other people are threats or not.So how do we maintain our discernment with...2023-03-1025 minPath to Peace with Todd PerelmuterHow to Earn Money Without Being Possessed by ItThere is a cosmic irony to this law of the universe: the more we try, the more likely we are to fail. This law is true in sports, art, dating, earning money and just about everything else. The more we force effort, the more we repel the thing we want. The more pressure we put on ourselves, the more nervous we get and the more mistakes we make.Forced effort isn't sustainable. Mounting pressure does not help us perform. And for some reason, the universe demands that we act without trying, achieve without striving for achievement, and...2023-03-0327 minPath to Peace with Todd PerelmuterDoes Going to a Temple or Church Do Any Good?What role do rituals, traditions and religious communities have in an individual's path to spiritual awakening? Can religion help us reach our ultimate potential? Or, are they nothing but superstitions and fairy tales? Do they create positive outlets for spiritual growth, or do they simply further divide our already divided planet?In today's podcast, I explore the pros and cons of going to church, temple or mosque. I dive into what religions can offer, what we can expect to gain from them, and most importantly, what faith can look like now and in the future in order...2023-02-2427 minPath to Peace with Todd PerelmuterShould You Meditate If You Are Feeling Poorly?Many people wonder if they should meditate even when they really don't want to. Others wonder if it's better or worse to meditate when sick. And some may even feel worse after meditation and wonder if this ancient spiritual practice just isn't for them at all.In this podcast episode, I dive into the debate about whether we should force ourselves to meditate no matter what, or if we should only do it when it feels natural. Is creating consistency at all cost the most important thing? Or do certain conditions need to be met in order...2023-02-1728 minPath to Peace with Todd PerelmuterAre Attachments Ego-Based?What is the nature of attachments?

Unless you were born in the top 1 percent, that relationship has probably had some degree of stress and anxiety. It's only normal. We need it and there never seems to be enough of it.Obviously we can't eat money, but it can certainly buy food, and so, we treat money like we used to treat food. The problem is, in the very olden days we'd go hunting or foraging for food. Today, we can't just go looking for money. And so, we...2023-02-0228 minPath to Peace with Todd PerelmuterWhy Do I Keep Failing Over and Over Again?If there are no mistakes in life because they are just opportunities to learn, what about when we keep making the same mistakes over and over again?
