Anais Nin has a friend that uses what she calls a "magic sieve," where she lets all the bad experiences pass through the sieve and lets the good memories remain. She is able and willing to let go internally of situations instead of accumulating junk which would create an emotional burden. Bad experiences can breed resentments, which can be fed with thoughts and lead to your carrying around unnecessary baggage. Anais's friend has learned not to keep the bad events or situations alive in her mind.
How does she accomplish this? By recreating herself each day. By getting busy and focusing on her dreams and building her relationships. By turning negative events into a comedy in her mind. By filling her life with music and books and interesting people. By transforming old things into new. By cooking with care.
