💫 TOOL #16 LET GO & RELEASE
Letting Go & Releasing is being KIND TO YOUR MIND (and potentially others), yet it is also easier said than done. Personally, I find it quite hard to ‘let go’ purely by thinking about letting go, especially on the other side of an argument, if I am in the midst of feeling anxious, going through a stressful and uncertain time or staring fear in the face. Therefore, along my journey I have discovered a number of ‘letting go’ techniques that help me physically feel like I am letting go of the argument, the anxiety, the stress, the outdated beliefs, the judgements, or the fear. The one that I find most effective for me (and most of my clients love it to) is WIDABI (I have worked in IT for 22 years - I was always going to create an acronym at some point!)
WIDABI - Write It Down And Burn It
It is quite self explanatory but there are a few steps to follow on the image below.
Writing is a release in itself, watching the words of worry, stress, anxiety... or maybe how he/she fills the dishwasher... then burn away, can be very helpful to ‘let go’. This often leads to tears, Crying is another important tool in My Wellness Toolbox.
