moment? Of course we can’t. Is it possible that such an experience could actually
give birth to good things as well? Yet we continue to believe and insist that it
shouldn’t have happened when the reality is that it is what it is. With or without our
thoughts it has still happened.
Of course, experiencing a loss or trauma doesn’t mean we should ignore how we
feel. It is perfectly normal and important to allow ourselves to feel the anger,
confusion, grief, fear, hatred, and bitterness within us. But once we start attaching
ourselves to these emotions, we experience suffering. 

It is our attachment and identification with our thoughts that is the sole cause of our
suffering.
42 Powerful Ways of Letting Go
As I mentioned previously, letting go is a process that takes time and effort. There
is no quick and immediate way to let go of all your painful feelings. However, one
of the fastest ways I have personally found of letting go is questioning and
disbelieving thoughts. This method is known as self-inquiry and helps to get to the
root of your suffering. Read more about self-inquiry (https://lonerwolf.com/tag/selfinquiry/).
However, there are dozens of other practices which can help you start the process of
letting go. The techniques I have shared below can help to both indirectly and
directly assist you in letting go. If one of these practices inspires you to try
something new, share it with me in the comments!
Letting Go of Anger and Rage
1. Allow yourself to scream
Find a private place to unleash your emotions. If you’re too embarrassed to scream
out loud, get your pillow and bury your head into it. If you have a pool, jump in and
scream at the top of your lungs.
2. Watch something that makes you cry
Sadness is the emotion that often forms a sandwich around anger. In other words,
anger is often a form of sadness and vice versa. To access this anger, watch a movie
that makes you cry.
