I have often thought "What the heck does letting go actually mean and how do we do it?" Then I found this piece of writing which I have found helpful. I read it out as our introduction for classes this week. People have loved it and some asked for copies. Thought I'd share here too.

I'd like to add that sometimes we can't let go of stuff, because it's just not the right time... in these instances, just letting go with our exhales might be all we can manage...🙏🙏

To let go isn’t to forget, not think about, or ignore.
It doesn’t leave feelings of anger, jealousy, or regret.
Letting go isn’t winning, and it isn’t losing.
It’s not about pride, and it’s not about how you appear, it’s not obsessing or dwelling on the past.
Letting go isn’t blocking memories or thinking sad thoughts, and it doesn’t leave emptiness, hurt, or sadness.
It’s not giving in or giving up. Letting go isn’t about loss, and it’s not defeat.
To let go is to cherish memories, to overcome and move on.
It’s having an open mind and confidence in the future.
Letting go is accepting. It’s learning, experiencing and growing.
To let go is to be thankful for the experiences that made you laugh, made you cry, and made you grow. It’s about all that you have, all that you had, and all that you will soon have again.
Letting go is having the courage to accept change, and the strength to keep moving. Letting go is growing up.
It’s realizing that the heart can sometimes be the most potent remedy. To let go is to open a door, to clear a path ,
to set you free ..
