    Interior freedom rests upon the principle of non-resistance to all the things which seem evil or painful to our natural love of self. But non-resistance alone can accomplish nothing good unless, behind it, there is a strong love for righteousness and truth.By refusing to resist the ill will of others, or the stress of circumstances, for the sake of greater usefulness and a clearer point of view, we deepen our conviction of righteousness as the fundamental law of fife, and broaden our horizon so as to appreciate varying and opposite points of view.The only non-resistance that brings this power is the kind which yields mere personal and selfish considerations for the sake of principles. Selfish and weak yielding must always do harm. Unselfish yielding, on the other hand, strengthens the will and increases strength of purpose as the petty obstacles of mere self-love are removed.Concentration alone cannot long remain wholesome, for it needs the light of growing self-knowledge to prevent its becoming self-centred. Yielding alone is of no avail, for in itself it has no constructive power.But if we try to look at ourselves as we really are, we shall find great strength in yielding where only our small and private interests are concerned, and concentrating upon living the broad principles of righteousness which must directly or indirectly affect all those with whom we come into contact.A neat short read. If you are familiar with Lao Zi's "Dao De Jing" and the basic tenets of Buddhism, you will recognise some of the central themes discussed here. While Lao Zi and Buddhism take a philosophical and somewhat mystical approach in addressing topics like "effortless effort", "acceptance of one's circumstances" and "mindfulness", Annie Payson Call approaches them from a more logical, "mental health" kind of approach, although there is some mention of the spiritual. Whichever approach one finds more appealing, the end objective is the same, ie. to live a more stress-free and productive life.

    PEOPLE form habits which cause nervous strain. When these habits have fixed themselves for long enough upon their victims, the nerves give way and severe depression or some other form of nervous prostration is the result. If such an illness turns the attention to its cause, and so starts the sufferer toward a radical change from habits which cause nervous strain to habits which bring nervous strength, then the illness can be the beginning of better and permanent health.

    Annie Payson Call was a Waltham author. She wrote several books and published articles in Ladies' Home Journal. Many articles are reprinted in her book Nerves and Common Sense. The common theme of her work is mental health. Excerpt THE literature relating to the care of the human body is already very extensive. Much has been written about the body's proper food, the air it should breathe, the clothing by which it should be protected, the best methods of its development. That literature needs but little added to it, until we, as rational beings, come nearer to obeying the laws which it discloses, and to feeling daily the help which comes from that obedience. It is of the better use, the truer guidance of this machine, that I wish especially to write. Although attention is constantly called to the fact of its misuse,-as in neglected rest and in over-strain,-in all the unlimited variety which the perverted ingenuity of a clever people has devised, it seems never to have come to any one's mind that this strain in all things, small and great, is something that can be and should be studiously abandoned, with as regular a process of training, from the first simple steps to those more complex, as is required in the work for the development of muscular strength. When a perversion of Nature's laws has continued from generation to generation, we, of the ninth or tenth generation, can by no possibility jump back into the place where the laws can work normally through us, even though our eyes have been opened to a full recognition of such perversion.

But non-resistance alone can accomplish nothing good unless, behind it, there is a strong love for righteousness and truth. By refusing to resist the ill will of others, or the stress of circumstances, for the sake of greater usefulness and a clearer point of view, we deepen our conviction of righteousness as the fundamental law of fife, and broaden our horizon so as to appreciate varying and opposite points of view. The only non-resistance that brings this power is the kind which yields mere personal and selfish considerations for the sake of principles. Selfish and weak yielding must always do harm. Unselfish yielding, on the other hand, strengthens the will and increases strength of purpose as the petty obstacles of mere self-love are removed. Concentration alone cannot long remain wholesome, for it needs the light of growing self-knowledge to prevent its becoming self-centred. Yielding alone is of no avail, for in itself it has no constructive power. But if we try to look at ourselves as we really are, we shall find great strength in yielding where only our small and private interests are concerned, and concentrating upon living the broad principles of righteousness which must directly or indirectly affect all those with whom we come into contact. A neat short read. If you are familiar with Lao Zi's "Dao De Jing" and the basic tenets of Buddhism, you will recognise some of the central themes discussed here. While Lao Zi and Buddhism take a philosophical and somewhat mystical approach in addressing topics like "effortless effort", "acceptance of one's circumstances" and "mindfulness", Annie Payson Call approaches them from a more logical, "mental health" kind of approach, although there is some mention of the spiritual. Whichever approach one finds more appealing, the end objective is the same, ie. to live a more stress-free and productive life. She also elaborates on the meaning of the Bible saying "Resist Not Evil", which I was surprised to find fits in nicely with the Buddhist concept of acceptance. It should be stressed that both "non-resistance" and "acceptance" do not equal resignation to one's circumstances, but rather a calm acceptance of the reality of the situation one finds oneself in, no matter how unpleasant it is or how much the mind insists that it shouldn't be so. Only with calm acceptance ie. non-resistance of reality, can one then have the equanimity to formulate the right way forward. This is where "effortless effort" comes in, ie. to always just do what is right, without unduly stressing about the outcome.
