嫌なことを最速で忘れる方法

You can read in English.

みなさま、こんにちは!
人間社会で生きている限り、いろんな人に出会います。嫌な記憶としていまでも残り続けるのは、ほとんど対人関係での出来事だと思います。今回は、嫌な対人関係の記憶を早く忘れる方法について考えてみましょう。対人関係以外ということになると、自然災害で家を失ったとか、大雨で観たかった野球の試合が中止になったとか、いろいろ考えられますが、そんなのは、時間が経てば諦められるでしょう。今回は、対人関係に限定します。

かなり過激な内容になりましたが、少しでも参考になればよいと思います。

Hello, everyone!

 As long as we live in human society, we are bound to meet all kinds of pople. I believe most of the unpleasant memories that still linger in our minds stem from interpersonal relationships. Today, let’s think about how to quickly forget these bad memories of dealing with people.

 If we look beyond interpersonal relations, various examples come to mind—like losing a home in a natural disaster or having a baseball game you really wanted to see canceled because of heavy rain. However, those are the kinds of things you can learn to accept as time passes.

-- The Anxiety That the Same Thing Might Happen Again --
The reason you cannot forget unpleasant experiences is that you fear experiencing the same thing again. Especially if you are someone who is easily swayed by emotions, highly sensitive, or narrow-minded, you must first recognize these traits. While it is difficult to drastically change your inherent nature, becoming aware of it can help you change yourself just a little bi

Try telling yourself this: "Next time, I will make a plan to prevent this situation from happening again."

This will not completely wipe out your anxiety. However, having a plan in place eases your fears slightly and helps you forget the bad things that have already happened more quickly. As I mentioned in a previous blog post, your mind does not naturally become stronger. Therefore, you need to plan ahead and equip yourself with sturdy armor. In short, the most important thing is to build confidence in yourself.


ーーScribbling Down Your Worries on PaperーーPlease write down your thoughts, your frustrations, and even the thoughts of retaliation you’ve had, either on paper or on your computer. Instead of just "writing," it’s more accurate to say you should "scribble them down furiously." You can go ahead and write the harshest criticisms you can think of.

Another option is to have a trusted friend listen to you, but unless they have the patience of a saint, no one is going to listen to you vent over and over again. In fact, if you keep complaining about the same things repeatedly, people will start to find it difficult to be around you. With paper or a computer, however, you can write as many times as you want.

Some people might say it's bad to write things down because it just makes you remember the unpleasant stuff all over again. However, writing it over and over and over again until the act of writing itself becomes tiresome can be effective. If writing is too much of a hassle, talking to yourself is fine too. Just make sure to do it where nobody else is around, so as not to be misunderstood (laughs).

It is completely acceptable to use the strongest language possible. "You total moron! No wonder you're alone, doing nothing but giving those worthless lectures! Look at your face! You look like a complete mess! Get lost! Seriously, your face is unbelievable! Your very existence is a total joke! You're finished! I'm done with you!" Just scribble down whatever you feel like.

It's a waste of time to keep dwelling on these things until focus on other tasks becomes impossible. To move on quickly, it can be much faster to clear the mind by thoroughly facing those horrible memories and casting them aside all at once. Forcing oneself not to think about them might actually have the opposite effect. In any case, purging everything and throwing it away is a fast strategy to overcome bad memories.

By "overcoming memories," it means they stop being bothersome, or they just become a story from the past. After all, it is difficult to completely erase memories that left a powerful impact.

ーーThe Scenario Strategyーー
I highly recommend creating a scenario in your head in which divine retribution befalls the person who caused you distress. Since it is a purely fictional script, you can create absolutely any situation you want. Just make sure you never actually put it into action!

For example, here is a small-scale situation. Let’s say you were tailgated by another driver, which left a deeply unpleasant memory. That driver, who repeatedly aggressively drives, is tailgating an older lady driving a small economy car one day. When they stop at a red light, a tough-looking, muscular guy with a shaved head suddenly steps out of the lady's car and yells, "I got your tailgating right here on video! I'm taking this straight to the cops right now. You better brace yourself for what's coming!" This works by setting the scene so that the man had been sleeping in the passenger seat with the backrest reclined. Things like this could actually happen in real life!

People who make others suffer will eventually face a time when they experience firsthand exactly how their actions made someone else feel. If something infuriating happens to you, please remember this blog.

ーーListen to Sad Music and Sink Completely into the Depressionーー
I’ve heard of a method where you make fun plans to forget about bad experiences, but is that even possible? When you’re feeling terrible, can you really get into the mood to plan a trip, buy your favorite clothes, or think of something fun? Maybe not. The next time you feel down, try listening to music with a super upbeat, high-energy beat. You’ll probably turn it off immediately. The human brain is simply wired to want sad music when we feel sad.

I believe that sinking completely into your depression—just short of wanting to die—actually helps you recover faster. If you lie to your own feelings and force yourself to act cheerfully, those bad memories will just settle deep inside your mind forever. Try remembering that awful scene, and say out loud, "I'm so frustrated! I'm so sad! I'm so angry!" Then, praise yourself for enduring it without resisting in that moment. Do not blame yourself for not fighting back. Choosing to remain defenseless and not fight back was perfectly correct. Of course, thinking, "Next time this happens, I will fight back," is also correct.

Everything is non-duality. Everything happens exactly as it is meant to happen. When a bad memory pops into your head, fully experience everything—the emotions of that moment, the tension in your muscles, and the words that come to mind. It might sound strange to use the words "savor" or "experience" for a bad event, but if you fully observe and experience what is happening right in front of you, you can escape that situation much faster.

This ended up being quite radical advice, but I hope it helps you even a littl
