Learn to Let Go

Some of us think holding on makes us strong, but sometimes it is letting go. We’ve all been hurt. You can’t be an adult- or teen alive today who hasn’t experienced some kind of emotional pain. Holding on to the pain doesn’t fix anything. Replaying the past over and over again doesn’t change it, and wishing things were different doesn’t make it so.

I agree, it’s not that easy to let things go because of the memories you cherish. But somewhere, the memories you treasure are giving you immense pain that you can’t even carry on your routine life. There are feelings when you often want some sort of closure or revenge for having been hurt. Unfortunately, holding on to this kind of pain only makes things worse for you. Try to express your pain, forgive, and move on with your life.

Things don’t disappear on their own. You need to make the commitment to “let it go”. If you don’t make this conscious choice up-front, you could end up creating disruptions in your own life. To let go is a choice, either you go on living a happy life or hold on the past and live with the pain.

Try to give it a thought, there was also a past before that past when you were living happily. Even it was a relationship, person or event, it is the past now or you can call it a lesson for yourself. I mean, you were happy when it was not there. Things never go the way we planned. Nothing is permanent, this time will also pass by.

Letting go creates space for fresh beginnings: stripping you of what happened yesterday, and enabling the doors of brand new opportunities to open today. It is about accepting what is happening right now and not worrying what will come up tomorrow.

You can’t undo the past, all you can do is to make today the best day of your life. When you focus on the here and now, you have less to think about the past. When the past memories creep into your consciousness, acknowledge them for a moment and then bring yourself gently back into the present moment.

You know there’s a quote that I like too much, ” The trees are about to show us how lovely it is to let things go.” To let go doesn’t mean to get rid of, it means to let it be. Be that tree, release the pain and become beautiful again. You have a alluring life ahead!
