Hello, welcome back to my blog. In this post I will continue my review of The One Skill's book. Check it out.
Chapter 17: Practicing the Skills
Some mini-skills that can be used as a healing process, including:
1. Make a commitment to practice just a few minutes a day.
2. Set aside some practice time.
3. Have reminders.
4. Sit and practice daily.
If you have difficulty letting go, you can do these suggestion:
1. Practice with easy things first.
2. Do it in small does.
3. Practice with people you don't have difficulty with.
4. Practice letting go of a desire.
5. Practice letting go of distractions.
Chapter 18: How to Act After Letting Go
There are some good possibilities to practice:
1. Accept this moment for what is.
2. Accept another person for who they are.
3. Accept yourself for who you are, and be content with yourself.
4. See that someone else (or yourself) is acting this way because
they are suffering, and try to be compassionate with them.
5. See that there’s a legitimate problem to be solved, other than the anger you’re both feeling (which is just a symptom). But letting go of the ideal and the anger helps you and the other person to solve the problem more calmly and compassionately.
6. Let go of the ideal, see reality as it is, and respond appropriately.
7. Just be in reality as it is, without judgement.
8. Let go of controlling things and just let them happen for a bit, being in the moment as they happen without trying to control things.
9. See the impermanent nature of reality. This is a fascinating and enlightening
learning process.
Chapter 19: What Letting Go Isn't
There are many misunderstanding about the idea of letting go. This is because accepting and giving up is not part of this worldview. However, the meaning of letting go is actually:
1. Letting go isn't about giving up.
2. Letting go isn't about being victim.
3. Letting go isn't about not improving.
4. Letting go isn't about letting someone else get away with something, etc.
Chapter 20: Examples of Letting Go
This chapter provides examples of problems that we often experience in everyday life and how to overcome them by using letting go skills.
Chapter 21: Where to Go Next
This chapter contains the author's opinion about what we will do after reading this book. He argues that although this book has entered the final part, this is only the beginning of our next journey in understanding and applying this Letting Go Skills. However, it all depends on us, whether we will apply it or not.
For your information, this post is the last review of this book. Hopefully my review can be useful for you....... Wait for my next post ^_^
