In reply to Not pushing back feelings AND not perseverating..., posted by workinprogress on August 9, 2009, at 0:53:53
I've tried to learn to let the thoughts come on into my consciousness, feel them and then let them float out of my body. I'm used to holding things too tightly, but I'm learning to let things go now, too. "If they're important, they'll come back," is some of the best advice I've ever gotten, so it has freed me to just let the feelings flow in and out of my body.
Probably not much help, but that's what I've learned to do. Unless, of course, I'm trying to figure something out and then I do practice holding onto the feeling until I can identify it, and I then I am able to let it go. Oftentimes, this can take a while, but I am trying to not obsess so much over thoughts and feelings and to let them go.
