When Smart People do Stupid Things

We have all done stupid things in our life. The brilliant ones among us have done it and even those of us who are a few q’s short on the intelligence measure have also done some stupid things. I am therefore no exception and I have done a lot, things that when I look back on them cause a whole gamut of emotions to run through me; pain, shame, dismay, self-loathing, and even amazement at my ludicrousness.

How do we deal with these memories?

My simple mantra is to feel and release, feel and release, feel and release until there is nothing left to feel.

But no. We do something stupid and want to relive the sufferation resulting from our actions ad infinitum. We have to punish ourselves by recalling it every time and them going through the corresponding emotional turmoil.

The feeling part is the easier part of the process. We berate ourselves and lower our vibrations which does nothing but to continue our downward spiral into despair. And from the bottom of that pit, it is sometimes hard to climb back out. So our best bet is to not go there in the first place.

I admit it can be difficult to release something and it may take years of going back and forth but once we have truly let it go, it won’t ever come back.

Feel it and release it.
