But the more I apply this to my life…
“Let go.”
I heard this one recently, and whoa.
Sure, it’s simple. Kind of self-explanatory. Easy to blow off… Maybe a bit repetitive.
But the more I apply this to my life… the fewer worries I have and the better life gets.
With a tendency toward a Type A personality, I can easily lean into that high achiever, high stress mentality. I get restless. Everything starts to feel urgent. Then the worries come. Then more stress…
And usually, this leads to lower productivity and, well, less fun.
But “let go” solves all of this.
It separates what’s within our control versus not.
It gives us permission not to allow negativity to hang out in our minds without our consent.
That grudge we’re holding? Let it go.That negative thought or worry that keeps popping up (and that you can’t do anything about)?
Let go.
That urgency we feel? Stop it, let go.
When we let go, we can function from a high-level state of mind.
We control our thoughts and feelings, rather than our feelings and thoughts controlling us and hindering the actions we need to take.
Been turning to this concept a lot lately.
Everything feels a little less heavy and hard. Even beyond that, life feels good; things feel possible - and I’d much rather be here than holding onto something that doesn’t serve my goals or vision.
