Let it go, let it be, let it flow. Easier said than done, they say. But is it?
The hardest part about letting go of anything isn’t usually the act of letting go itself. Hanging onto something that’s trying to get away is much more difficult and takes a lot more effort than simply letting go of it. It is the resistance to the act of letting go that makes it hard to do – the fear, the uncertainty, the aversion to change. Resistance takes a lot of effort – it is the action of going against something. While it can be worth the effort to fight for something that’s truly important; more often than not, the things that we’re clinging to, fighting for, or resisting change from might not actually be worth the price.
When we are hyper focused on keeping things a certain way, such as expectations, a grudge, a story from the past, a stubborn idea, bottled up feelings, or control over pretty much anything, we limit ourselves to all of the potential and possibility that is available outside of our preconceived notions. When the answer is an instant ‘no’ without the space for any consideration at all, we are definitely selling ourselves short. Feeling stuck, stagnant or like there are no options? This can all be an indication that it’s time to let go a bit.
