Amazing advice. I love your point 4: Being present. You're absolutely right, when we talk with someone we are just waiting for our turn to speak :). I'm working on developing the habit of being present but, as you stated above, it's more complex than it appears. But its benefits are well worth the effort. Thanks Dayne for sharing this.

I would like to add one myself which is accepting or giving love to negative emotions (it kind of crosses with letting go). Much of the times we are unhappy is because we let our negative emotions consume us. The reason we fall into depression is because we never fully accept them. If someone just broke up with you, and you can't accept this, then you'll remain unhappy. But if you send love to this emotion and say, "Hey this is a great thing! It teaches me a lesson for what I should and shouldn't do later on and makes me a stronger person!" If you really mean it when you say this, then it will help you become happier because their isn't a discord in emotions. They are right on top of each other mixing with each other, instead of pulling away from each other (or, at least that's how I visualize it). Anyway, thanks for this post and keep up the good work! .-= Tristan Lee´s last blog ..<a href="http://frombottomup.com/how-to-use-sensory-symbols-to-your-advantage/" rel="nofollow">How to Use Sensory Symbols to Your Advantage</a> =-.

Letting Go can be a difficult task.
