Here are a few keys to undoing the pattern and setting yourself free.

 

ü  When you notice the repetition of the event in your mind:

o    Visualize a stop sign (stop the thinking pattern)

o    Substitute and repeat a suitable, positive replacement thought:

§  I am letting that go.

§  I am enough.

§  I can handle criticism.

o    Get feedback from another person

o    Consider that what happened may be less about you and more about the person who offended you.

 

ü  Journaling about the event may clear it or give a different perspective.

o    The person who upset you, who in your family does he/she remind you of?

o    Have events like this upset you before? Identify the pattern.

 

ü  Meditate on it and ask what I need to know about this situation.

 

ü  Use Doreen Virtue's angel cards and ask for clarification on the situation.

 

ü  Work with a healer or a counselor to discover your limiting belief that caused the triggering event to be so big in your head.

 

ü  Repeat as necessary. Stop, replace, and practice letting go.

 

ü  If you can't do it with a big one. Try it on the next small one. Part of the key is practicing new responses.

Sincerely,
