When people tell you to "just get over it!" they never tell you how to accomplish that. Therefore, most people just push whatever it is below the surface where it still smolders. An amazing technique called EFT will help you "get over it" permanently.

My years of helping people using past lives, among other equally effective techniques, allows me to assure you that if nothing else, experiencing past lives has one grand, categorial positive benefit for every single person who does it: it makes you stop taking your current life so personally. Specialists in past life regression therapy can help you with the emotional issues and unfinished business from the past by integrating that experience in your present life.

All I can say is that the personality was not me as I am today but I was seeing things from his point of view. There is a part of the person that knows what is transpiring in the here and now reality, so you are always in control of yourself.

"Anticipating the unexpected" would seem to be a contradiction in terms. Nevertheless, it is possible to develop a mindset such that when the unexpected happens, one is prepared to take it on board and deal with it.
