Trust and let go of control
Easier said than done: trust and let go of control. However, I found out that trusting and letting go is far easier the more you practice it. Like Jill, I came out of a complicated relationship that wasn’t tunning for either of us. I let go, and that’s when the cool things started to happen. It was hard, and it was scary at the beginning. But soon, I realized that it was meant to be. Not only I had grown and expanded, but I also needed new air to breathe. And staying in stagnant waters wasn’t making it for me.
In Big Wild Love: The Unstoppable Power of Letting Go [affiliate link], Jill explains her journey and how letting go can be the best thing ever. Since letting go for real can be very challenging, I encourage you to start with simple things that you can control. For example, letting go of the need of checking your phone every 10 minutes. Or, letting go sugar 5 days a week. Or, letting go of gossiping on a daily basis.
Letting go is a practice. It’s not something you’ll achieve once and be done forever. If you trip back to control, know that you can always let go by relaxing and stating it into your head. As simple, and yet as powerful.
Think about something that’s stopping your or bugging you right now. Then decide to let it go, and then practice until you let it go completely. You’ll be free!
