Put it in a box, tape it up and set it aside

I remembered a trick I suggested to someone once when dealing with an awkward situation that they couldn’t put out of their head.    Take what’s bothering you, stuff it in a virtual box, tape it up (use duct tape) and shove it in the closet.    Putting it (virtually) in the closet gets it out of site, and gives you a sense of being “done with it”.   

Sometimes to be happy, and to move on, you have to shove things in virtual boxes.

  1. It’s a very valid technique that my councellor taught me…helped me deal with crippling stress migraines!

  2. We do exactly the same thing!. Bad events etc are put into virtual boxes which we carry along with us through life. We are allowed to open them (metaphorically of course) from time to time, but must always then close them up again before we proceed on our journey of life……..it works!

  3. Gemmak – I would love to make a box for you, but it works better if you make your own. Just use some pretty paper to do it. 😀

    Harry – It does work, but takes some discipline. Sometimes the box is open and sitting in the midst of your living room without permission. 😀
