The three S rule offers a simple but very valuable lesson: according to your proposal, in life you have to learn to let things go, because by letting them go, we give impetus to our own potential. After that, we must smile, allowing ourselves to connect with our interior to generate optimism and confidence, later you must feel the moment and open yourself to everything that is to come.
As José Luis Sampedro said, we all have a duty to seek freedom, yet, as we well know, freedom sometimes requires courage and we are not always prepared for it.

“Ultimately, are we what we do to change who we are?Eduardo Galeano?
For psychologist James O. : we are talking about perseverance and a healthy process of change.
Perseverance is, on the one hand, the ability to commit to a goal, is to combine resources, motivation, time and energy for this goal, for this dream, for this person, however, this commitment often makes no sense when there is no longer any benefit, when one feeds on false dreams without realities. This is the time when we must apply the well-known three S rule. Let’s see what it’s all about.
We said before that in our education, or even in the creation received at home, no one prepares us for change, no one has taught us, for example, what to do when anger, disappointment or frustration accumulate painfully in us. , messy and unsolvable, was something we ended up swallowing forces and then setting it aside as if it hadn’t even happened.
This common and well-known fact did not happen in the Hawaiian city of the nineteenth century, it was considered that the mind, body and soul were completely linked, so anyone who accumulated negative emotions or faced internal battles alone would find themselves ill.
Thus, and to avoid the discomfort of many physical and psychological diseases, Hawaiians practiced an evocative and incredible practice that was observed and described by David Kaonohiokala Bray, a priest who popularized and showed the world much of this indigenous culture.
Below we will detail the black purse ceremony and the three S rule
When a community member went through a difficult time, the group would come together and perform the black bag ceremony, it was simply that the person said aloud everything that bothered, worried or feared him, each thought was symbolized by a stone that was then placed in the bag.
Then the bag was buried in a secret place. Only when that community member has complied with the three S rule can the release be symbolized and the sack destroyed. For that, the first step was to learn to let go.
This practice, this unlocking of our personal growth requires adequate “emotional cleansing”. As the Hawaiian community explains, just as we clean our clothes, our home, or the utensils we eat with, we should also be able to let the emotions that imprison us disappear, those emotions that get dirty inside us.
The next step in the three S rule is to smile. So while the act of making you smile isn’t easy when you let certain things go, it’s necessary. The reason is clear: when a person dares to release his negative emotions and break ties in relation to what is no longer useful or beneficial, what he feels is often a void.
It’s like being suspended in the air. We are aware that we carry a lot of luggage on our backs, many stones have been collected along the way, however what we have before us is now a blank slate, to prevent this void or this blank canvas from scaring us, You must dare to smile. It is necessary to embrace with optimism everything that comes.
The last secret of the three S rule is the most promising, the most revolutionary: feeling freedom. Think about it: when was the last time you felt really free?This overwhelming sensation occurs when there is no weight inside. no black bag occupying our thoughts, bags that pull our bodies down, diminishing their health.
To feel is to embrace the present, to trust, to listen and to be in tune with what is going on, to feel is to live without fear and that is what we have to work on in our day to day, just like the old community of Hawaii. Because it was only when the person reached this last stage, that of feeling emotionally free, the group again destroyed the black bag containing their laments, fears, anger and blockages.
Let’s think about it. We will apply the three S rule daily.
