You need to have just a little willingness to let go of the attachment which is often emotional. So feel your feeling, cry if you must & it goes. Easy!!

If a current way of thinking is not working in some way, it may be necessary to be radical, & totally ditch small variations on the current mode of thinking. To stretch the metaphor, it may be necessary to ditch wearing a hat of any colour, and instead do someting else - e.g. transplant an eagle's head in place of your old one - add three more different types of sense receptors on your head - so that, in imagination, you become a chimera, and act out how such a creation would think/feel/experience a problem from a unique perspective.

Thank you for this so simple but so effective way of letting me know today that there are other possibilities!! this is so very true our world would be a different one if only we could stop thinking that what we think is the Truth!! other ways and other methods exist but we can’t see it if we think that what and how we think is all there is!
