own life. If you prefer to adapt it as an affirmation instead of a prayer, that's fine.
Finally, don't be reluctant to let go. By letting go you are not necessarily losing the value that you once gained from that old habit or phase of life. What you are doing by letting go is removing it from the forefront of your mind or removing it as a barrier to future progress. The good thoughts of the thing you are letting go will still be there in your subconscious mind and you can still easily access them in future – when and if you need them. What you're really letting go is your attachment to the “need”.
By letting go you are actually contributing to the resources of your inner strength. The thing you let go will become part of that vast bank of experiences and knowledge you are carrying around with you at all times. It will contribute to the intertwined web that gives the strength and breadth to your personality. Letting go will help you to clear the decks for future action! Some words from the nineteenth century poem, Ulysses, by Lord Alfred Tennyson summarise it for me –
“I am a part of all that I have met;
Yet all experience is an arch wherethro'
Gleams that untravelled world, whose margin fades
For ever and for ever when I move.”
And always remember, whenever you go through this exercise, the example of the monkey which gave up its life because it wouldn't let go.
I had been a fairly heavy smoker (30 a day) for 27 years. I did not make a big deal about the smoking as a goal, but it was there in the background the whole time. On the Wednesday following the seminar I had my last cigarette after dinner. Very cool, no fuss _ I just KNEW it was my last cigarette. A week later I still had no urge to smoke (just a feeling of “what's missing?”. I haven't been irritable or cranky (haven't beaten the kids once!) and I feel just great and not a little pleased with myself. I went on and applied the techniques to releasing weight. I released 5 stone (that's 31 kilos) _ my self esteem soared, relationships improved _ you can just imagine all the great effects can't you? I feel just great!
