This got me worried that I'd been doing the process all wrong. I found that a few of the 'bigger' things from the previous few days that had 'hit my stuff' came back and were feeding a negative spiral of thoughts/emotions. I was having great success with this for a few days, until I had a terrible sleep and the next day was just really low on the will power that it takes to do this process hundreds of times a day. She suggested we try EMDR - has anyone had experiences with this? I'm sceptical but also super hopeful and think what's the harm in trying? I would also love to hear how this book has changed your life! Bring on the success stories!Įdit: My Psychologist has really highlighted today that the neglect I experienced as a child has left some deep unprocessed memories/experiences, that I won't be able to simply 'let go' immediately. If I had really let go of those things at the time, then how could they resurface like that? or is that super unrealistic and I just need to be prepared to keep letting go, over and over again? My instinct tells me it's the latter but I'd like to hear your thoughts.
I would love to hear others' tips or techniques for just letting go when something 'hits your stuff'. I also practise tapping into joy inside or basically willing it into existence, and marvelling at the wonder of life and what I'm experiencing. If I feel myself tempted to close off, especially from other people, I recite a bit of a motto "I choose life/love", depending on what feels right at the time. I remember Michael Singer's comments about making it the sport of the day. When I feel the negative energy really trying to pull me into more ruminating, I try to observe that and smile. In practising letting go I've found some things that seem to be working pretty well for me. I can then witness the strong link between certain thoughts/beliefs and the clenching and tightness in my heart, throat, and even tingling in my mouth. I have practised mindfulness/meditation for the past 5 years on and off, and think I have a pretty good awareness of my mind and negative thoughts.
I have felt the power of it in the week since reading it and know it can (and will) have a huge impact on my life.
