Letting go

[Merr]

A number of people seem to have the same problem as me: letting go. From what I've been reading from a number of very helpful posts, it seems that you should have the mindset and the feelings that you already have the object of your desire. Therefore, you attract more of what you already have. Also, feelings of gratitude, being in the now and focusing on the pleasures of today enable you to 'forget' what you wanted and let go.

However, how do you apply this if you're the kind of person who finds it difficult to let go of anything? Heck, I even used to find it hard to let go of old train tickets, despite the fact that they were of no use. If friendships seem to be becoming stale, slipping away, I am reluctant to let go. If someone is being very negative, I want to encourage them to be more positive and find it frustrating to give up and let go when it isn't working. Any thoughts?

Just see that your body itself is a projection in consciousness and you are not your body. The body works completly on its own !

You may ask now what this has to do with letting go! I will tell you:
When you see yourself that you are not the body but that you are the silent witness of an appearence in the field of consciousness and this appearence is called "my body" then you are completly detached of it and manifestation will work effortlessly.

Stop thinking that you're a person that "finds it difficult to let go of anything." Such an idea is a construct that is often called "resistance". Others around here would call this a "limiting belief".

The idea is that if you think that you're someone can't let something go, then that's what you are, or will become. When you can let that go, letting go of everything else will be much easier.

try dharmabuddy's question:

The same way you put down an imaginary watermelon?

If you were not a "letting go person" in your past years of life, then suddently becoming one is changing a big chunk of your life and it needs you to pick up a whole new skills to do it. And you are not going to make it in couple few days, like you don't build a muscle in a few work-outs

So don't worry too much, just be conscious that you are learning to let go and allow yourself to master the skill one small bit after another. As long as you are keep working on that, even only making a very slight change a day, still accumulated up, you will eventually get there, be the person you want to be

So just do everything you consider as a right thing to do slowly and in small bites, tweak things on the way and sonner than you expected, you will be OK, you will be that cool non-obsessed person

I really like what you had to say here. I am very good at manifesting inspiration; the inspiration to do something or call someone or whatever so i can have what i want. However, i have struggled with ideas that the media has deemed during my lifetime as long term plans. Whether it is maintaining a perfect weight or amassing money-i am working on letting go of the concept of it taking a long time. i know i can have it now. i just need to let go.

Thank you for all of your responses. There are some good ideas here which will help me let go. I think it's true that I do have a belief that I have problems letting go, reinforced by the fact that I have a close relative who tells me this on a weekly basis.

So basically, I have to let go of the belief that I have problems letting go, possibly with affirmations, e.g. 'I am now able to let go of...' whatever the thing is and expect results, but be patient with the timeframe. Do you think it's possible for this to work and be more positive if you live with a very negative relative?

I think it truly hit me that I have problems letting go when thinking about relationship patterns. I believed that I didn't repeat the same mistakes - each guy was very different from the previous one and I learned lessons. However, with the first guy I knew that we weren't right for each other but stayed in the relationship for too long. The second guy I stayed with because I loved him, despite knowing he was treating me badly, before finally being unable to 'let go' of him emotionally for a long time after we broke up. My last relationship, I ended things with him swiftly but now find it difficult to let go of the possibility that we could ever sort things out in the future. I realised that the inability to let go was the pattern I repeated with all of my partners.
