Let go

whatweeventalkinbout

Hello everyone and a Happy New Year! Lindy and I took a break for Christmas and we’re glad to be back. :-)
Today, we’re talking about the idea of letting go. We explore the idea of letting go of ideas and identities so that we can develop as individuals.

In this episode, we touch on the idea of home. Home can symbolise a place of permanence and familiarity. The concept of letting go asks us to leave the familiar and go into the unknown. However, this is easier said than done. How do we overcome the fear of letting go?

I discuss the idea of perhaps thinking about all the gains that are made each time you let go of something. This can be applied to any situation. What if I need to let go of a morning routine that has worked for years. I may lose hours of sleep, I may have to change my evening routine, I may lose hours of relaxation aka TV time. But the thoughts of what I’ll lose will keep me from making the change.

So...what will I gain? I may gain the time to do things that I couldn’t so while following my old routine. This could lead to other opportunities and so on. Of course, this idea of looking at the gain instead of the loss is a work in progress, it’s something we’ll have to practise. But it’s a light of hope for me. I feel like letting go of things I like is easier when I think of all the things I’ll gain as I let go.

We hope this conversation gives you food for thought and encouragement. As always, thank you for joining the conversation.
