I have never looked back from that time and more joy and peace have found me with every emotion and memory I let go of. I believe that honouring your experiences and validating your emotions are a pivotal part of healing your wounds. Then you move onto releasing them and letting go. And then you don't look back.
You move on to part 2 - Letting Go - using the swapforjoy techniques Map my Feelings and Mind Tuning. This is the time to take your first steps forward. By releasing the negative feelings and toxic energy from your past you are creating new space to create a new future. This part took me some time and I had to keep digging to get to the bottom of my blocks. But there was no going back. Every release felt good, optimistic and I knew there was a clear path opening up ahead of me.
When you reach part 3 – Swapping – you get introduced to that new path and you get to fill that new space with the feelings and habits that you want. The feelings and habits that will create the life you want to live. A life where you are happy and get to choose from a place of being consciously aware and in tune with yourself. The swapforjoy formula is good. It is concise, supportive, structured, dynamic, fresh. It works.

Luckily I had a great view from the cottage window!
Letting go brings you personal freedom
After an unexpected and unexplainable accident on my healing retreat in the Isle of Skye, I found myself spending the entire trip inside the cottage. I had travelled to spend time healing, meditating and releasing. I found myself journalling and researching my medical records instead. Little did I know that was the healing. I used my time carefully and left no stone unturned from my relationships, family life and health matters amongst other things. It felt like the whole experience was meant to be. An avalanche of emotions followed and I could viscerally feel, for the first time in my life, what was stuck inside blocking me. I returned a different person and life has never been the same since. I actually came home with more visible mobility challenges from the accident. But I was emotionally healed and free. Skye changed me forever. That is how part 1 - Identifying and Pillar Blocks made their way into my healing journey.
