Hey guys,
Have any of you heard of the “let them” theory? Or read Mel Robbin’s book " The Let them theory " or listen to her podcast?
I read her book a few months ago and all though I loved it and started to apply the practices in my every day life, I rolled my eyes a bit when she got to her section of her book regarding the “Let them” theory when it pretains to getting over someone. She said it takes about 3 months to get over or move on from someone. Avoid their socials so you dont look at them. Dont look at their photos or things that remind you of them, I think she said for a minium of 11 weeks or something.
I rolled my eyes, because I felt sure, those rules would apply just fine to a normal relationship. We can, and we all have the ability to get over “normal” relationships. But when you share a soul with someone, feel their energy and mood shifts daily, they constantly show up in your thoughts or dreams constantly. How on earth could the “Let them” theory really help and apply to a twin?
I have been at an extreme low the past few weeks. As I have been feeling my twin more strongly. Synchronizations getting stronger etc.
I’ve gone to sleep crying only to wake up crying. I’ve just been struggling. Yesterday it got even lower because yesterday was the 22 year anniversary of my mom’s death. So I was really struggling yesterday. Like dont ask me how I am or I will just burst into tears. Thats how low I felt. I woke up crying yesterday and sent my twin a 13 min voice note begging him again for closure. Of course, it was met with more silence.
I felt sad still the first half of my day at work. Then by the end of the day, I felt a shift and just felt “done” done with this sad, longing, missing energy. I told myself, “girl, you got this. You can move on. What ever that looks like, you can do it!”
So I got home last night, showered and went to bed and woke up thinking about the “Let them” theory.
I am going to try. For 30 days, I am going to try and see if I can apply this to my journey. Actively everyday, try to apply the “let them” theory in regards to my twin.
I’ll be back to report how it went.
