my son ,listens to headspace and i get this very “letting go” coping mechanism out of it. (Of course I’ve heard of the coping mechanism from many other sources, particularly Bhuddism and Daoism)
Letting go is taking something I’m attached to, want, afraid of, and imagining a scenario where I lose it, it happens, I fail, there is less in my world. Its scary and its hard. But i know its a good skill, so I try and i fail and i learn to be ok with it – its a little letting go. I learned a little letting go.
I wish I was taught this in combination of writing down everything – what happened today, and how I feel etc… but adding the ability to let go of the hard part a little. Being to look back in my notes and see the me in that point of time.
Letting Go hypothesis.
letting go is the application of negative emotion aka neuroticism ( fear, frustration, loss, and sadness) constructively towards pursuits that would not be in the best interest of the person.
Always best writing it down to navigate our mind as we proceed.
- Identify my Pareto Priorities: the top 20% I can really do effectively that meets 80% of my needs.
- Identify the Concept or Object of Neuroticism.
- Apply more thought or mental resources in experiencing the neuroticism, but proceed to apply SMART criteria, Mental housekeeping (5S; ask what I dont know) and be Specific (and Action-ability).
- Apply letting go – removing this issue, its requirements, its costs, etc… from my list of to dos.
