On letting go
Control often feels like a lifeline in the stream of life. We think that by holding on tightly, managing every thought, every move, every outcome…We’ll find safety. But control is not a friend; it’s a quiet form of resistance. It traps you in a small circle of possibilities, while life itself is so much larger, wilder, and freer.
To let go of control, we must find a new rhythm, a rhythm of trust. This doesn’t mean becoming passive, but learning to listen: to the flow of your breath, to the whispers of your intuition, and to the signs life offers.
Letting go of control is like dancing in the dark. You can’t see the next step, but you feel the rhythm in your feet. You move not out of fear, but in resonance with what unfolds.
Tips for Letting Go of Control:
The Power of the Breath: When you feel yourself clinging, pause. Take a deep breath in and out. Let your breath bring you back to the present moment.
Ask Life: Ask yourself: What if I let go of this control? Listen to the answer that arises from within.
Practice Small Releases: Start small. Let someone else make a decision or trust that a situation will resolve itself.
Poetic Reflection:
Letting go is not a loss,
it’s the opening of your hands.
It’s trusting the wind
to carry you where you need to be.
