I am assuming that you want to forget 3 things that are causing you some hurt when you remember them. How about giving it less or no attention every time they come back to your memory. Like ignoring those thoughts. The other question is - "What is that you are getting by remembering those 3 things? What incentive do you have to remember them?" Sometimes people want to feel hurt or sad as that will give them an excuse for inaction on some of their other projects. Like a justification for slacking. I am not saying that you are doing this but it's something that you should keep in mind. My $.02 of course. Best, Raj Hello there:

There have been 3 things that have happened to me and I want to know how I can forget they ever happened. I want to know how you actually go about selectively forgeting things.
