Book Club Review #1 - Letting Go | Changed my life!!
This past year I got really interested in our ego and how it effects our daily lives. What we do not realize is that ego is nothing but negative emotions that make can dictate our decisions, sometimes without your consent!
What do I mean by this?
We fail to recognize how emotions dictate the decisions we make in any circumstance. Unless we are aware and choose to be a certain way.
I never really realized that the ego was just negative emotions, such as pride, needing to be right.
Letting Go
The book is mainly about explaining each emotion and what it means when you are in that state of being.
Then the most magical part of this read is how any emotion can be released forever. We tend to think that the thoughts are what cause all the reoccurring emotions and continuous problem within ourselves. Once you release the emotion tied to those thoughts, the thoughts will never return as the emotion is what gives anything strength.
How to release negative emotion
Try this trick as it is taught in the book and works in my experience. When you have a negative emotion, feel it, really embrace that feeling, now think of what exactly is causing that feeling while going through the emotions. Take it all in. Once you know that this feeling is coming from that "thought or idea" accept it and then push it away. Once you have accepted and understand the emotion and what triggers it, you can release it and it will never return again.
When you release any emotion you can move up and replace is with a positive one. This is how you can change your life instantly!!
Why you should remove negative emotions
There is no benefit to have negative emotions or feelings. Sometimes I hear people say you can't be happy all the time and you should be sad or angry at points. Not the case. We perform and thrive in only positive emotions and it can be that ways always because it is a choice, not set in stone.
This book really took everything I learned to the next level. Also taught me how important emotions are, they are much more important that actual data or thoughts!!
