Chapter 2, section 6, Paragraph 5
Clarification note: The second scenario reminds Roxanne of her mother’s constant reminder of “be nice”. She views the real message was “act nice”. This became a behavioral pattern over years of repetition for her that what matters most is doing not being. This helped her to understand how she became conditioned to think that the kind of strain that comes from doing something while wanting to do something else is normal. She now knows that this way of thinking does NOT lead to peace of mind.
