Are you longing to rewind the clock to a time when you never needed to think about whether it was safe to be with a group of your friends?

You are not alone.

Right now it’s hard to stop believing that life should be the way it was just a few months ago. Yet life is not that way now and it is not likely to be that way again for quite some time. And just thinking about the situation often triggers grief and anger.

In this book segment, Ron released his energy from trying to solve an impossible problem like this one by using the Logosynthesis sentences that are taught in Letting It Go. You can get a quick intro to the work at www.BooksByLaurie.com/guide.

Most people still believe that you need to keep living with the discomfort of resentment and disappointments replaying themselves over and over again. Fortunately, that isn’t true anymore. Learning to use this process is much easier than you think. You will be amazed at what you can learn and start using in just an hour or two.

For many people, the belief that triggers so much negative emotion is a variety of, “Life should be the way it used to be.” Try putting that into the sentences and just notice what happens.

“How can you think about abundance at a time like this?”

We are in a situation that is new to all of us, and old messages are rampant! When we don’t know what is going to happen next, we are extra vulnerable to these old, unexamined beliefs we have picked up from others.

When your safety is threatened, you try to protect yourself. Those voices from the past may seem like a refuge, but you’re  vulnerable to getting stuck in unexamined beliefs that really don’t help solve anything.

What makes it worse for me is that during the time I feel most threatened , and need the tools I have used in the past to regain my equilibrium, it is hard to remember that those tools exist. Fortunately, I do eventually remember. I hope you do too.

If you have used the 3 Logosynthesis sentences to help you release those old, limiting beliefs, you know how powerful they are. Use this as a reminder to use them regularly.

If you don’t yet have this tool, this book will help you learn to use it.

What better time is there to learn to release old beliefs that keep you from making the best possible use of this in between time to learn to take better care of yourself?

Do you now need to wear a mask when you are in a public indoor space? I do.

When I wear it, I feel somewhat physically uncomfortable, but I tell myself it is to keep others safe from any virus infection I might spread. I am reassured that their masks keep their possible infections away from me.

Early in this pandemic public health officials said mask wearing should be reserved for people who had symptoms or were in contact with people who had symptoms.

Then the fact emerged that infections were spread by infected people before they show symptoms caused the advice to change to masks for everyone.

Most people I know share my belief, but I do encounter strangers in stores who refuse to wear masks.

Some ridicule the officials who changed their stories and insist that they have other motives for their new advice…

Some people easily adapt to new information and others are incensed by it.

When you don’t have enough resources to manage an overwhelming situation, like navigating this strange new world,  you freeze your energy around your personal explanation of the situation to protect yourself.

If you are someone whose anxiety is triggered when stories change, use the Logosyntheis sentences to retrieve your energy from the old story and make space to accept new information.

Can you measure prosperity with toilet paper?

How do you think the idea that you might run out of toilet paper unless you bought a huge supply got started?

I remember being warned prepare for the pandemic by having enough supplies on hand to last for two weeks. Paper goods were mentioned as part of those supplies.

Did you start to feel a little bit anxious? I know I did. Apparently some people were more  anxious than others. In fact, they must have been terrified.

Instead of buying what they needed for a few weeks, they bought much, much more. That buying created the scarcity they feared. Suddenly there was not enough for the rest of us, so searching for more became an obsession–even for people who already had a supply.

Is it possible that the belief that you need more and more money to have enough is just as unnecessary as the belief that you need more and more toilet paper to be safe?

If you usually think your prosperity depends on how much money you have, maybe it’s time to think differently. When you reclaim your own energy and start thinking of other possible ways you may be prosperous, you’ll discover that you may be far more prosperous than you imagined.

I have recently had conversations with two different, highly skilled, professional women about how their former husbands had cheated them and left them in dire financial straits.

Each woman was, quite naturally, frightened about the future and both were feeling frustrated and exhausted.

One was jumping from distraction to distraction and getting very little done. She told me details of all the ways she had done the right thing in her life but had been so unfairly treated. Her energy was frozen in “this belief that life should be fair” and I helped her release the frozen energy using the Logosynthesis sentences and she immediately felt more focused.

The other was blaming herself for blindly accepting her husband’s deceptions over the years. She was focused and intent on solving her problem, but in the current time of pandemic, nothing was working. Her energy was frozen in “this belief that I should have known what was happening.”  Using that trigger as she said the sentences let her relax and slow down and rest.

In times of uncertainty, it often feels like the safest thing to do is to stick to what you “know” is true. Unfortunately, this may be an old belief that has very little to do with your current situation. Try releasing it and see what happens.

Today I have no answers–only questions about responses and reactions to the forced social distancing so many of us have been experiencing.

I am among the privileged, and you probably are too. I am “locked down” in a pleasant home with electronic contact with most of the same people with whom I regularly interact. I know I am blessed and yet I am sad.

Yesterday, we bent the rules and went for a drive and saw the awakening spring in our beautiful Colorado foothills. I was surprised that my first reaction was tears. I am still not sure why.

Perhaps because experiencing that loveliness tapped into a reservoir of frozen painful feelings of loss I have been trying to ignore while making the best of my own situation.

Realistically, my life works. I am usually happy and productive. And yet my ability to enjoy safe human contact with others will not return for many more months and I am sad.

I use trigger phrases like “this belief that the world should be different” in the Logosynthesis sentences and they help release some locked energy.

Yet I still wonder if the sadness that remains is a way of responding to a longing for the past or just a signal that there is no substitute for the energy of physical contact.

As the chiropractor worked on my aching back, I decided to use focus on releasing whatever was the stimulus for those painfully tight muscles.

I really was not sure there was any reason besides the lack of my usual physical activity in the swimming pool that had been closed for two weeks. 

However, I have discovered that often, when I say the Logosynthesis sentences with a general description of the trigger, a more specific description emerges. I focused on “whatever is causing these tight muscles.”

As I said the first sentence, I felt an overwhelming sense of grief and loss. As I continued through the sentences, I realized how much I missed the regular hugs I normally share with my grandchildren and many of my friends.

During this time of the necessary physical isolation to protect everyone from this virus, I have kept myself busy and productive. I have stayed in contact with important people electronically and focused on my blessings.

While doing that I have also apparently been freezing my energy about my painful feeling of loss.

I did another round of sentences with a new target, “this belief that the world should be different than it is.” By the time I finished, I still felt sad, but the overwhelming grief was gone.

My back is feeling better too.

“What am I going to do today that I will be glad that I did 3 months from now?”

I heard this on a webinar that was urging me to respond to this changed (and scary) world by using my time to get ready for what is coming next. I was already doing that. I have been avoiding working on updating my website for months and now I am deep into doing it.

That speaker clearly does not believe in scarcity. He, like me, is an author and expects lots of people to read his books in the future.

So, if you are someone who cowers when the finances of your world are disrupted, you are certainly not alone.

But some people cower more than others. It’s not their fault–or yours. Uncertainty is rampant AND IF YOU HAVE BEEN TAUGHT TO BELIEVE IN SCARCITY, you are reacting to it.

Do you want to learn a new way to respond–to truly embrace what is possible?

I know this may seem like a strange time to think about abundance but during this pause, why not?

Decide what you will do now that you will be glad you did in 3 months.

Reading this book will help. Get yours now.

You have lots of reasons for feeling stressed and anxious in today’s uncertain world. But some of this anxiety may be much worse because of past experiences you barely remember.

If you wonder why people around you aren’t as upset as you are or if you find yourself feeling very judgmental about others who are not following the rules the way you are, suspect that this is the problem.

Often, when you have encounter something difficult or scary, someone helps you solve the problem and you know what do when you run into a similar problem. Unfortunately, sometimes nobody is there to help, you feel overwhelmed, have no idea what to do, so you do your best to forget about it and pay attention to something easier.  You use some of your energy to keep that painful memory from messing up your daily life.

But then, when something intense happens that is in some way like the early situation you tried to forget, you overreact! You suspect something is strange, but you can’t figure it out. That overreaction happens because the overwhelm from the time nobody could help intensifies your reaction to what is happening now.

It’s easier than you think to untangle. How to untangle it is explained clearly in this book. Get it now.
