Trying
Times

C.W.
is
your
“Curious
Witness.”
C.W.
is
one
of
the
most
effective
and
effortless
tools
you’ll
ever
discover
for
transforming
painful
experiences
into
personal
power
and
joy.
C.W.
already
lives
inside
of
you.
Notice
that
you're
analyzing
the
idea
of
a
C.W.
while
you
read
this
article.
You've
just
proven
that
part
of
you
is
already
playing
the
role
of
a
neutral
witness.
This
component
of
yourself
is,
and
always
has
been,
a
friendly
part
of
your
core
self.
When
you
discover
how
to
use
C.W.,
you
develop
profound
trust
in
yourself
and
in
the
process
of
life.
You
avoid
emotional
roller
coasters,
self-judgment
and
judgment
of
your
experiences.
Sound
good?
With
C.W.,
you
become
so
curious
about
watching
the
movie
of
your
life
that
you
can’t
wait
to
see
how
each
scene
turns
out.
You
accept
life
on
its
own
terms,
so
you’re
filled
with
inner
peace.
You
trust
that
your
movie
(your
life)
will
continue
to
be
interesting,
so
you
have
no
desire
or
demand
that
it
turn
out
a
certain
way.
Since
you
have
no
attachment
to
a
certain
outcome,
you
witness
your
life
in
an
impartial
manner.
When
you
discover
how
to
work
with
C.W.
you
observe
yourself
having
unpleasant
feelings
or
experiences.
You
don’t
avoid
or
deny
your
emotions
because
what
we
resist
persists.
However,
your
emotions
don’t
become
a
primary
identity.
You
acknowledge
negative
emotions
and
experience
them
as
sensations
in
your
body.
You
still
gain
the
benefits
of
emotions,
including
new
insights,
but
you're
very
clear
that
you
are
not
the
anger,
fear,
or
sadness
that
you
observe
yourself
experiencing.
Because
C.W.
is
a
neutral,
factual
observer
detached
from
emotional
angst,
negative
feelings
flow
through
very
quickly.
There's
no
resistance.
You
easily
detect
misperceptions
so
they
gently
fade
away.
When
you
work
with
C.W.,
you're
blessed
with
an
impartial
umpire
24/7.
This
means
that
you
effortlessly
avoid
the
temptation
to
judge
your
experiences
as
bad,
unfortunate,
or
unnecessary.
Fears
of
the
unknown
are
overwhelmed
by
excitement
concerning
your
next
steps.
Your
energy
is
fully
available
to
you.
With
the
curiosity
and
enthusiasm
of
a
toddler
exploring
a
colorful
new
playground,
you
ask
yourself,
“I
wonder
what’s
next?”
C.W.
also
calms
your
inner
critic
because
you
simply
observe
mental
chatter.
Instead
of
believing
in
--
empowering
--
your
critic’s
negative
messages,
the
deeper,
all-knowing
part
of
you
takes
over.
A
wonderful
and
spontaneous
transition
occurs
when
C.W.
consistently
serves
as
your
personal
assistant.
One
day,
you
notice
that
you
have
substituted
curiosity
and
the
joy
of
learning
for
expectations
that
cause
pain
when
they
don’t
come
to
fruition.
Because
C.W.
helps
you
experience
life
in
the
moment,
you
link
with
one
of
your
best
resources
--
your
intuition.
You
steadily
prove
to
yourself
that
you
always
have
dependable
inner
guidance.
Since
happiness
is
a
side
effect
of
living
fully
in
each
moment
and
following
your
internal
clues,
you
notice
yourself
smiling
more
often.
This
one
simple
technique
--
employing
a
personal
witness
--
can
help
you
let
go
of
struggle
and
judgment
and
adopt
bliss
as
a
new
“familiar
zone,”
a
24-hour
a
day
lifestyle.
Are
you
ready
to
begin?
Start
now
to
connect
with
a
deep
state
of
inner
peace
that
is
always
available
to
you.
The
easy
proven
process
of
using
your
C.W.
is
fully
described
in
the
books,
"Transforming
Pain
Into
Power"
and
“Joy
on
the
Job.”
