Unlock Emotional Freedom: How to Not Be Clingy by Expertly Unpacking the Layers of Your Feelings and Desires

Unpack that clinginess

Let's dive into the second step – once you've acknowledged that clingy feeling, it's time to unpack it.

Picture a big line down the middle of a piece of paper. In one column, jot down everything you don't like about this behavior.

Be honest about the parts of yourself that are giving you a hard time. Let's shine a light on those shadows, shall we?

Write down the exact opposite of what you want

Thirdly, write down the exact opposite of what you want and understand that if you don't do this, you're gonna be stuck in the negative.

For example: I desire to feel secure, worthy and loved (on my own!)

Right now we want to transform the negative ideas to understand what we actually want.

Instead of focusing on what you don't want, realize that on the opposite side of that there's something that you do actually want.

Telling yourself what you actually want will shift you from that negative vibration thought pattern into that positive vibration, or allow you to see that there's another flip side of the coin.  

This simple act shifts you from a negative thought pattern to a positive one, breaking free from the clingy cycle's limiting beliefs.

You've got this, love!

Focusing on what you love about this person

Fourth, if you're clingy towards someone, instead of asking them or manipulating them in order for them to give you more attention, love or any of what you want, start appreciating them for who they are.

Remember a time where you got the attention or feeling from the person, you can start creating memories and work with your memories remind yourself the good feelings.

For example, sometimes after meeting someone or having an incredible week or time with someone, I often find myself wanting to text them non-stop to keep drawing upon that dopamine or oxytocin hit!

Instead of doing that mindlessly, I take the opportunity to express what is at the bottom of my desire: Grattitude for the time we spent together!

What it does is that instead of making that person feel trapped and being bombarded by this person that's clinging on to them, they start feeling like they are just being appreciated by that person.

Find out what it is that you actually need to heal to get to that shift naturally with private coaching! 

It's more attractive for them to be interested and more likely to respond positively to you.

Communicate clearly what you want

Five, most of the time when you are clingy, you find all kinds of ways to manipulate the situation by turning it to your favor so that you can get what you want.

Communicate clearly what you want, owning who you are and also appreciating them.

Before doing that, it might be useful to do some meditations to reach a place of peace instead of desperation.

Identify what are the actual biggest fear that you have and why are you clinging.

What is the biggest fear that you're having right now, is it that person's gonna run away? You're going to lose them?

Is it that you're afraid that the anxiety of them not being around or responding would eat you alive?

There are no wrong answers here, pure open curiosity! 

Or what's your biggest fear?

Look into what's at the root of your cling, because there's a lot of information there (even if they may seem dark) and instead of looking from outside for emotional support, look inside and see how you can support yourself and be dependent on yourself for emotional support in this situation.

Explore your deepest fears, for there lies a wealth of information. Instead of seeking external emotional support, turn inward. Be your own pillar of strength in this situation. I find immense joy in helping people uncover the root causes of their patterns.
