Don't say "Go away!", instead walk yourself away

The harder you try to let go of something, the more bound you become to it.

"Go away, go away, grrr really GO AWAY..."

To let go of something, just walk away from it.  Let it be what it is, without trying to change or destroy it, and just walk away from it. (Don't go back to see how it's getting on.)

Rather than commanding the 'thing' to go away, as if you have some authority over it.  Exercise the authority you actually have, i.e. the authority you have to remove yourself from the thing.
(won't work it cases where the thing can follow you of couse - perseverance and/or authority required for that.)

Intuitive sense

"Whenever I try to follow my intuitive sense of what to do, I become self-conscious of what I'm doing and so lose touch with my intuition."

Most notice this when dancing.  Sometimes I can feel how the dance should move next, and I start doing it. But I then get overwhelmed with consciousness of what my body is automatically doing that I'm then back to being in conscious control again.



 AARRGGGHH!  most annoying...

I use to get this problem when learning to touch-type.  Looking at the screen, not the keys I would suddenly realise, "I'M DOING IT! This is amazing!" and then it would suddenly stop - because I'd become conscious of it again.

I think I was brought up to not trust intuition; if you can't be in control of it, it must be a bad thing.

God designed our intuitive brain, so surely we should allow ourselves to develop it as fully as possible.
