Notice the colors, sounds, smells, textures, tastes, and different feelings in your body. Anchor yourself in the Now by noticing what is happening. For instance, he tells you to "just keep telling yourself your painful story until you get bored with it" and then doesn't tell you what to do if you don't get bored with it... if it's still just as painful every time you think about it. Granted, that's what therapy is for and he DOES have a disclaimer to discuss this with your healthcare or mental health provider... but if I'm going to do that, why do I need your book, Purkiss? But despite this, van Cuylenburg was caught in seemingly intractable problems. An inbuilt perfectionist streak and a desire to please others meant that he’d beat himself up every time he went to a party in a low mood.There are so many amazing relaxation techniques out there.

Journal, Meditate & Pray: Set aside some time to contemplate how you are progressing. What was easy to release and what are you struggling with? Writing down your feelings is helpful in letting go. Meditating and praying about your intention also helps you to gain clarity about your objectives and barriers you are trying to overcome. Often when we dig deep enough we find that the actual solution is very simple; it was our minds that made it complicated. You may even want the formality of a ritual where you write a letter about releasing your attachment and then burn it, letting the smoke carry your intention to the Universe for help in letting go.

I've got big dreams and big goals but one of my main prayers now is, "God, not my will but let your will be done". If a door closes, no big deal, I let it go. If my plans don't work out, no big deal, I know God has something better. I've learned to not get so consumed by a dream that if it doesn't happen my way I'm going to get all bent out of shape. I think about Eve in the scripture. She went through a great disappointment. Her son Cain killed her son Able, the first murder in the Bible. And I'm sure Eve like any mother was devastated and heartbroken. She could have thought, "God, how could you let this happen to me"? But I love what Eve said in Genesis 4:25, "God has appointed another seed for me". She was saying, "I don't understand it. It doesn't make sense but I know God is still in control. This is not the end. He has appointed another seed". Breathe. Let go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure.

You won’t learn how to do it overnight, especially if you’ve spent your life holding on to things you loved – even if, deep down, you knew they weren’t right for you. Focusing on moving forward and creating a new story for yourself will help you deal with the inevitable pain that comes after a breakup. It will also help you eliminate blame, develop empowering beliefs to live by and move on with an open heart.I shouldn't fight against the huge waves, as they would always be stronger than me and push me under. I should just collaborate with them. Once you realize you deserve a bright future, letting go of your dark past is the best choice you will ever make. – Roy T. Bennett
