The letting go. The most important step in letting go of feelings is to cut the link between your thinking and what you're feeling. How do you do that? You do it by being aware of your thinking and realizing that that thinking is pain. It feeds the old feeling and the narrative. Whatever it is, is a painful narrative. And you realize that you've been keeping it alive for some years and there's enough awareness. You realize that it has no purpose except to make you unhappy and to perpetuate that feeling.
