Let go!

The magic of letting go.

Do you tend to stress out over everything and overthink the little things? Allow uncertainty or past mistakes to weigh on your conscience? Desperately fight to control the outcome of each and every situation?

Let me tell you about the magic of letting go.

I used to get so frustrated and anxious and pissed off when I didn’t have the answers to every question or problem or situation. I’d focus on the one little thing I did wrong as opposed to everything I had done right. “Sure I got a 99% on that one assignment, but wow I really messed up on the other 1%." I'd get hung up on little things of the past that I no longer had the ability to change, and allow regret to transpire and control my thoughts. Dwelling on the past was stealing my ability to learn and create and just be. The stress of worrying consumed my free time. By spending even more time thinking about the past, I thought I would be able to solve it. I devoted all of my energy to the stress of worrying. I didn’t think there was any other option.

Letting go is an option. “Letting go is learning to release your grasp on your life by allowing it to blossom in its own way.” It’s understanding that there are things that are out of our control. We need to accept that or spend a lifetime trying to change the past when we could be creating our future. Roll with the punches. Take what you’ve learned and move forward.

Truthfully? Letting go isn't easy. But it gets easier with time. WE ARE HUMAN. We make mistakes. If you can begin to trust yourself, allow yourself to fail, and begin to believe in a community that supports you and wants you to grow, then you will truly be able to let go. There is growth and opportunity all around you. LEARN TO LET GO, AND GO FOR IT.

We invite positive energy into our lives by creating and doing. You will fail and you will be challenged, but the sun will rise and you will try again. I hope that you learn to welcome it.

Kindness and care,
