Different types of abandonment
Let’s go: “It’s a good balance between holding onto things and letting them go,” says Cecil Neuville, a psychologist who specializes in positive psychology. She explains that there are different levels of dispensation that apply to our body parts:
- Mental abandonment, which aims to free us from our parasitic thoughts or negative beliefs.
- Emotional dispensation, which deals with our negative feelings such as guilt, anger, or shame.
- Letting go of relationships, getting rid of other people’s gaze, jealousy or our emotional dependencies.
- Letting go of the past and future, focusing on the present moment and forgetting stressful moments to better prepare for it.
Cécile Neuville uses positive psychology, that is, to focus on the positive elements that surround us. “The more we develop our gratitude, the recognition of what we have and what we live, the more we can let it go,” appreciates the psychologist.

Leave the daily exercises
During the day there are simple exercises to do. Sophrology mainly gives breathing exercises, mainly through the abdomen. “Diaphragmatic breathing is very effective because it allows us to relax both physically and mentally. Our thoughts are linked to the way we breathe, so our breathing allows us to better understand the concerns of everyday life,” adds Clarice Cholet.
Physiotherapist offers exercises to perform in everyday life for relaxation. For example, put your hand on your stomach and breathe for 4 seconds. Then hold your breath for 2 seconds and exhale for 4 seconds. Finally, empty your lungs for two seconds and start the cycle again for a few minutes.
For her part, Cecile Nouvel invites her patients to focus on their five senses (smell, hearing, sight, touch and taste) in their daily lives (meals, spending time with someone, walks in nature, etc.). By paying attention to the five senses, you can focus on the present moment and forget the rest.
