Thanks for your post.
In regard to how people can physically turn this emotional frustration around, just being on PATHS is not sufficient for some. PATHS does do all that you wrote in your post and even for some who are frustrated they will get relief from using PATHS and be less frustrated
It clear for those who are in such strong deep rooted place of frustration, who continually use mantras like “I’m stuck” or “this isn’t working” “what am I doing wrong” that PATHS or anything else for that matter will stand little or no chance of working in the short term or if at all.
This is of course quite a small, yet vocal % of people, it doesn’t matter if it’s PATHS or the Secret it won’t work for them. The natural thing to do then is to build a book of evidence to support this perspective, attract others with a similar energy and start an “anti” movement.
How it can work more effectively is of course to do
PATHS and focus their emotions on something that brings or has brought them joy and activate that as much as possible throughout the day. The example I gave in an earlier post about getting the feeling of holding a new born baby for the first time, has allowed many people to break out of this emotional block. There are many others, favorite vacations, orgasms; graduations etc can all be used to move someone out of frustration. If you are in that joy of any of these moments, then you cannot be at the same time stuck, as this builds momentum, then PATHS is able to do its work effectively.
More to come in the future, for those who are struggling to build momentum.
