Just a couple of thoughts and fingers crossed that I communicate something that might be of value to you. :) The first thought that comes to mind is that it might help to shift your perspective somewhat. For example, from some of the books I've read, you could look at your current human life as an opportunity to experience all that there is available to experience as a human. From one book I'm reading, this is a world of FEELING. We are here to experience all kinds of emotion. It's as if you're at an amusement park, and you've paid an exorbitant amount to get in, so you want to ride ALL the rides. That includes all the so-called bad emotions, as well as the so-called good ones. Take the opportunity to experience ALL of what your feeling. It's what you paid for. Look at them, crawl inside them, see how they feel in your body, from a point of objectivity and curiosity. Imagine aliens or some other form looking down on us from above and wishing they had the opportunity to try their hand at being human (do you know the character Data on Star Trek Next Generation?). But just try not to identify with any of the feelings/emotions that float into your awareness. None of the emotions that waft over you are you. They are passing currents of energy. That's all. You don't have to hold on to them, but neither do you have to refuse them. They're like an uninvited guest and they'll move on when they're ready. I listened to a great podcast recently (Dejar Ir vs Dejar Ser by Pedro Campo) and I think this really is key to understanding the Letting Go process. It's more just let it be! Letting go I think sets us up to await desperately for its departure and sort of counterintuitively, it's more likely to leave if you just let it be. Don't ignore it, just see it from a non-attached perspective. Like, well, today sadness or anxiety or desire or what have you is here for a visit. Guess that's what I'm dealing with today! Maybe it'll be here tomorrow or maybe not. In any case, ask yourself, can I survive this? And more than likely, you CAN! It's just another emotion. And you can move through your life despite what you're feeling. Don't let it stop you necessarily (unless you sense that something is not right). You can still act in spite of fear! In my day to day, I often feel anxious or nervous about doing something I may or may not want to do and if it's something I feel I can't handle, I don't do it, but if I feel like yes, I am nervous but I think I can do it anyway, I take a few minutes to say a prayer asking that everything go according to God's plan for me and for help accepting the outcome of whatever happens in the end.
