What It Means to Let Go - Letting Go for Your Good

When we let go of something or someone it can be easy for us to immediately blame ourselves as the reason it happened. Which sometimes is true, but mostly it's just the best decision at the time. But here are 7 examples of what letting go is & isn't.

Show Notes:
Letting go of something or someone can be so devastating. And with the pain of letting go, your mind can be swirling with thoughts & emotions & assumptions of what your role is in having to let go of whatever it is. 

One of the most common thoughts is that whatever happened was your fault & you are the one that is the problem and the broken one. And while that might be true in some circumstances, it’s for sure not going to be true all the time.

It’s important to take responsibility for what we do wrong or our actions that lead to someone else feeling hurt or not keeping someone else’s feelings in mind based on what we know about them because that is the right thing to do. But just because something or someone is no longer in our lives doesn’t mean we were to blame for the separation. And sometimes we are to blame because we made the decision (with strength or forced because it was needed) on purpose, knowing it would be good for us in the long run. But either way, there is a loss, a separation that happens & we need to understand what that means so it’s easier to cope with.

This is why today I wanted to to to talk about what it actually means to let go & some examples of what it doesn’t mean, so we are not sitting in our pit of despair longer than we need to:

1. Letting go doesn’t mean you don’t care anymore, but that you could be tired.
2. Letting go doesn’t mean you won’t regret letting go, but that you are making a change that is healthy for you.
3. Letting go doesn’t mean you aren’t scared of what will happen in the future, but believe that you have a fresh start to find out what’s next for you.
4. Letting go doesn’t mean you won’t ever think about it again, but that you will see more & more why you needed to let go.
5. Letting go doesn’t mean you are immediately ok, but that you are working towards feeling better & forgiving (if necessary).
6. Letting go doesn’t mean you aren’t a nice person, but that you are no longer being held captive by other people’s expectations.
7. Letting go doesn’t mean you know exactly what to do next to move forward, but that you are open to multiple options.
