How to Let Go

Have you ever had the impression that letting go is becoming more and more difficult with each passing day?

Some of us become emotionally invested in a person, a result, or a label. When the moment comes for us to make the decision to let go of it, we will not be able to make a full decision until we are certain that nothing else will be able to complete us.

As a result, many attachments are guiding us in the direction of our own shadow. We’re going to have to make do with these shadows. What exactly is a shadow? It is the part of ourselves that we are not aware of that we are dealing with. It’s possible that you’ll refer to it as your blindside. For the past two years, I have chosen to love someone who lives thousands of miles away from me (he is in Europe and I am in Asia). Some of you may be against the concept of long-distance relationships, but there is a part of me that appreciates the significance of being amused despite the distance and time difference.

I even had this massive dating culture that occurred while I was traveling in another nation because I felt wanted, adored, respected, and appreciated by everyone. I was under the impression that getting more dates, more attention, or more matches would increase my sense of significance. I was completely mistaken.

We were under the impression that when we let go, we would experience more agony than pleasure. For the simple reason that we will not obtain what we want. As a result, as I make a firm decision to give up harmful pleasures, I must question myself: What is it about this person that I find so endearing that I cannot let him go?

I can tell you right now that if you become emotionally connected to a person, a label, an object, or an outcome, you will only experience short-term satisfaction or pleasure as a result.

When you let go, you have a greater chance of attracting magnetic energy to yourself. You have a greater chance of attracting synchronicities. Give it a shot.

I should have known sooner that I actually care about the person with whom I was experiencing happiness, but because he is operating on a different energy level than I am, he will not be able to perceive what I am seeing. When he finally admitted that he was seeing someone, it didn’t take me more than a week to come to terms with it. I simply made the decision to let go and reminded myself that I could still be whole and relevant if I channeled this loving energy into my own being.

What are your thoughts? What is it about that person, that outcome, or that label that you desire? Is it because you believe that if you have that one thing, you can be whole and complete in your own right?

Lending your support to someone or something is essentially a straightforward technique that only appears difficult because you have created some sort of identity attachment to the belief or person that you are clinging to. Additionally, you may be apprehensive about letting go because you sense some form of “payoff” or benefit from continuing to hold on, whether it’s external validation or anything else that you view as a benefit from continuing to hold on.

Withdrawing one’s emotional attachment from a specific person, outcome, or belief is critical to the letting go process, and it makes the process extremely simple. We all know that letting go is supposed to be simple, but we choose to believe that it is difficult and come up with reasons why we shouldn’t. Despite the fact that it appears to be a contradiction, clinging to something really difficult results in the development of resistance and energy distance. So, letting go is what will actually help you get more and live a more fulfilling life that is in line with your values and goals.

First, you got to let go of the things that no longer serve you.

Wishing you the best of luck in life!
