Major Disruption? Unleash Resilience
I’ve spent the past 10 minutes blotting spilled tea from the carpet in my office. I needed to let go of my plan to get started writing this piece. I also let go of what I intended to write because I realized just how many things I need to let go of every day. The real challenge is to let go of each one gracefully and revise my plans instead of just getting upset. How do you manage to let go when: • Traffic is unusually heavy, and you know you will be late for an important meeting? • Your spouse or child breaks your cherished possession? • A good friend breaks a promise? • You get the flu just before you expect to leave on vacation? • Your phone stops working? Sometimes it’s easy, you revise your plans and solve the problem. Sometimes you are so upset that someone tells you, “Just let it go!” And you wish you could, but you don’t know how! As a psychotherapist I learned and practiced many ways of letting go of negative emotions and awful memories. Some worked better than others. Then a friend showed me something so new and different that I was stunned. It worked so quickly and so painlessly that I found it hard to accept. Six years later, after I had become trained to use and teach this method, I knew how easily anyone could learn to use it, so I wrote this book. The reviews say it works. Get your copy now.
Book Excerpt
Letting It Go
But, no matter how hard you try to stay in control, stuff keeps happening. People make demands on you and you expect yourself to be able to do it all, so of course, you're stressed.
• Then you can't stop thinking about it all.
• You start feeling anxious and it drains your energy.
• You know you should let it go but you can't figure out how.
• You try to fix it but take out your frustration in ways that make things worse.
And furthermore, you don't have time or resources to get it fixed!
You are not alone! In the years since 1970, when I started helping people heal their lives, I have used many different tools to help them calm their anxiety, take charge of their busy lives and find what they need to live joyfully. And I have used those tools on myself as well.
So imagine my surprise when a long-time colleague and friend showed me a new tool that simply blew me away!
I Was Amazed
It happened this way. My husband and I went to dinner with old friends after a day at a professional conference in Montreal. Our friends picked a Mexican restaurant which was supposed to be quiet and pleasant. We live in Colorado and can get that kind of food any time, but it was a special treat for them.
I am a “highly sensitive person” whose body rejects highly spiced food and loud noises, and the evening did not go well. Waiters kept promising food I could eat and delivering food that made my mouth burn and induced violent coughing. As we sat there very loud families arrived and the mariachis began to play trumpets! Can you imagine how stressed I felt?
I excused myself while my husband paid the bill and went outside into a beautiful quiet evening to calm myself down. I did some breathing exercises and tapping and I thought I was fine. Then the friend came out and asked if I was OK. I told him, truthfully, that I was. He asked me to describe what happened and I did my best to explain how my body had become extremely tense.
He asked if I would try something new and had me repeat some words I barely understood. Suddenly I experienced a whole new level of deep relaxation of the remaining tension that I had not even been aware of before. I was stunned! I asked what he had done and he told me he had used a new European technique called Logosynthesis.
