Sedona Method

A long, long time ago I picked up this book of my husband's. We had just moved in--well, no, let me rephrase that--we had lived together six months and I was finally getting to putting everything away. The book was called the Sedona Method, and my husband immediately wrote it off, saying, "Yeah, it looked good, but then I realized all it was saying was 'let it go.'" So, I didn't pay much attention.

I picked it up again, and while it isn't as enticing a read as The Secret or many others, I finally found its value. Yes, it is saying "Let it go," but how often has someone said that to me and I couldn't even do that? In fact, "letting it go" is much harder than it seems.

It's a little bit of a frustrating read, but when I actually committed to reading what it was saying, it was really eye-opening. So, I tried some techniques...I will go into this more later because I only have the computer for about 30 more seconds, but here's the thing: lately I've had a lot of insecurity over money, my car which needs to be fixed, and my career, among other things. I got to allow my anxiety to come through, realize what was causing it, and let it go because I finally acknowledged its presence. I came home and immediately felt the gusto to clean the apartment--well, the kids' room, which is the worst part--and I don't feel burdened or overwhelmed by anything. In fact, I feel quite at peace.

Check it out. In response to "The Secret" (which I still need to write my full review on) it gives practicality where "The Secret" offers none, so I find that very useful.

Cheers.
