A Reframe Of "Just Let Go"

[EdgeGod900]

The words and the tone themselves can have a big impact on whether or not you will fully grasp a concept.

After reminiscing about my past and the people who I look up to, I found a connection with Leo's "Just let it go" vs my uncle's "Just ignore them."  Leo's version is very bland/boring prolly  why it took him a while to attract women(I dont mean this as an attack). My uncle(whos a fuckboy), his version is kind of narcissistic, but you can reframe it positively by thinking "I am God, so of course I should be way better than this."

I notice this reframe is very very powerful especially when dealing with petty matters concerning other people. Anyways, I just wanted to share this because it baffles me how the messenger and the way something is worded can make us decide whether we would actually listen or not, and some of you guys might find it more impactful than "jUsT lEt gO"

 

One last thing, I guess it also helps that when my uncle used to take me to places, and he would noticed that I was bothered by other kids, he was right there at that moment to remind me to "just ignore them" -- not just a reminder, but also providing me with emotional support.

”just ignore them” is more specific referring to people meanwhile “just let go” is more general and can be used for anything they both have their place.

They both have their place, but when you are as emotional as me, "Just let go," won't cut it.  I need that narcissistic/arrogant reframe.

I actually came up with one as im writing this: "Oh no! I have cancer? ... Alright. Whatever."

Another amazing reframe, one that is more existential and grounding is " All is impermanent, nothing lasts. Let me just let this go". " We will all be gone soon, I choose to see everyone and everything through the eyes of unconditional love and compassion. 

I see this approach has worked for me in the past as someone that grew up very angry and filled with rage, allowing things to be taken personally. Letting go of emotional reactions in the heat of the moment is challenging but this frame really helps me especially when I'm on psychedelic trips. Hopefully it can help you as well on your journey. Sending you love.

Wtf

The fact that you're emotional doesn't mean that you need arrogance or narcissism.

I'm a really emotional person and just let go works for me. So I think it's personal: words have different impact on everyone.

I agree
”no one is chasing you”

works for me
