You can’t mentally let go of something your body is still holding.
You can journal, affirm, manifest, burn sage, do the most —
but if your shoulders are still up to your ears, your jaw’s clenched, and your breath sounds like you’ve been holding it since 2016….
your body missed the memo.
Your nervous system didn’t get the email that says:
“Hey, we’re calm now. It’s safe to release.”
Because letting go isn’t just a mindset —
it’s a full-body process.
You’ve got to feel the thing before you can free the thing.
That means shaking it out, crying it out, breathing it out, sometimes even screaming it out.
So next time you catch yourself spiraling in your head,
ask your body what it needs to let go.
It usually knows before your brain does.
