Holding tightly to any possessions which reminded me of childhood memories, holding tightly to people I have met in my teens, even though I no longer felt any meaningful connection other than shared memories. It has negative consequences for your mental health, physical health, mood, and level of happiness. It’s somewhat surprising that an author who talks about accepting negative emotions also says we should focus on positives, which is useful only up to a certain point and it’s an otherwise pop-psychology myth.

I believe things, people, and events meet us precisely when we are ready to receive them. I did not look for it. The practice found me. Our need for conceptual understanding is the crutch. It’s best to not overthink this whole letting go thing.Ringrose believes that typically, letting go comes at an acute pain point, when holding on hurts more than moving on.

feel tremendous resistance to doing this, and that’s what makes it so powerful. As you relax and feel the resistance, the heart will want to pull away, to close, to protect, and to defend itself. Keep relaxing. Relax your shoulders and relax your heart. Let go and give room for the pain to pass through you. It’s just energy. Just see it as energy and let it go.” Agnes made a promise to Ellie that she would help scatter her mum's ashes at the top of a mountain/ However, the promise was made when Agnes and Ellie were still dating and madly in love. Yet, when the time comes to spread the ashes, Ellie's dumped Agnes and has brought new boyfriend Steve along for the journey. If that was not awkward enough, things get worse as a storm rolls in and the mountain becomes treacherous.Agnes was a protagonist I immediately connected to. I mean, she’s basically just established as a homebody who wants to stay in bed all day eating and sleeping and thinking about the girl she loves which is top notch relatable content. I really liked her as a character, though, and enjoyed reading her story.

Psychic, Lies &“Scientific Proof” So I'm holding off on actually rating until I finish the audio book...but so far, I am deeply unimpressed. This book would be about half it's actual length if you cut the lists to manageable size and removed the outlandish claims (such as it being able to cure allergies). It usual riddled with false claims about auras (debunked) and other New age claptrap. The premise of this book--letting go of negative feelings--is a good--if not excellent--premise. The first chapter's hook is thorough and humorous. Lownds is a fine narrator. The execution of this book, however, is a step short of complete failure. Does it need to be 12 hours long or is it one idea with a lot of infill? It needs to be 12 hours long.He weaves his decades of work as a psychotherapist and consciousness researcher together with spiritual principles and his own and other people’s experiences.
