Here's another topic from Canfield's book that is a personal adventure: Forgiving. Intellectually, it makes a lot of sense. Emotionally, it's a beast. I, like most think, "Sure it would be great if I didn't think about someone I absolutely loathed all the time. But that person is always going to come to mind. It's just human nature." While this is true, the pain can be lessened.
The best way I've found to "forgive" is to write a letter to the person. Write a letter from that person to me. And finally, burn both letters. It's a nice symbolic ritual, and I found it eases the pain. Then move 1000 miles away. Ha! Time and distance do wonders though.
