The Manual: Letting Go Of Excess Suffering

Becoming You Again

When was the last time you felt frustrated, annoyed or downright angry at something your ex did? If it was recently, or if you’ve ever thought, it would be so nice if they’d just do things the way I do them, then this episode is for you. In this episode, we'll explore the concept of 'manuals'—those pesky expectations we impose on others—and how releasing them can lead to dropping the excess suffering you’re feeling.

You’ll learn that ‘manuals’ are the unwritten expectations we create about how others should behave to make us feel good. By recognizing these manuals, we learn to let go of unnecessary emotional burdens, improve our relationships, and embrace the dualities of life, particularly during challenging times like divorce.

In this episode I’ll cover:

• Exploring the 50-50 principle in life
• Understanding the concept of manuals in relationships
• How expectations create emotional resistance
• Recognizing personal autonomy in interactions
• Emphasizing self-responsibility for our feelings
• Empowerment comes from owning what you can actually control
