How To Let Go Of Negative Feelings In 7 Easy Steps

Would you believe me if I told you that it’s easy to let go of negative feelings? No, probably not, but you can with practice and by setting the right intention. Do you sometimes find that you experience a difficult situation where you make a mistake or have an argument and end up feeling hurt or hurting someone else? Do you find that you can’t seem to stop thinking about it and just let it go? And do you then end up carrying negative feelings of anger, guilt, regret, resentment or whatever around with you like baggage, weighing you down?

It’s possible to consciously let go of negative feelings quickly and easily at any time. It just requires you to recognise that you no longer wish to hold onto them.

7 Steps To Let Go Of Negative Feelings

1. Choose a quiet comfortable place to sit where you will be undisturbed.
2. Close your eyes and take three long slow deep breaths.
3. Take a moment to acknowledge the negative feeling, emotion or situation that you are currently experiencing. Say in your mind, “I am feeling (insert negative feeling here)”.
4. Give yourself permission to let go of this feeling. Say in your mind, “I allow myself to release and let go of this (insert negative feeling here)”.
5. Visualise this feeling, whatever it is, rising up like a dark smoke from inside your body and evaporating in the air.
6. Tell yourself it is done and accept this as your new reality.
7. Take three more long, slow deep breaths and open your eyes.

This will release negative feelings on a conscious level and this can sometimes be enough, but if you find these feelings recurring, it’s best to release them on a subconscious level too.
