What If Letting Go Is The Secret to Moving Forward?
Episode 116
Thursday, 24 July, 2025
Text us 1 takeaway from this episode (don’t forget the episode #). We read every message—even if we can’t reply!🥺What if the stress, tension, or emotional heaviness you’re carrying isn’t just “life”—but a direct result of resisting what you can’t control?Just like our bodies respond to overexertion, our minds react to the emotional weight of trying to fix, change, or manage things—and people—that aren’t actually ours to carry. In midlife, when so much feels uncertain or outside your influence, the practice of acceptance becomes a quiet but powerful strength.Acceptance doesn’t mean giving up. It means releasing the fight against reality—so you can meet the moment as it is, not as you wish it were. It looks like noticing where your expectations are creating frustration or pain, and asking whether those expectations were ever agreed to in the first place. It means acknowledging what’s outside your control, so you can reclaim your energy and peace.This mindset shift invites more than just calm—it creates clarity. When you stop tying your inner peace to someone else’s behavior, you begin to respond rather than react. You choose aligned action over emotional reactivity. You move through disappointment with grace, and find freedom in saying, “This is where I am right now. And that’s okay.”When you release the need to control what was never yours to begin with, you create space—for peace, for healing, and for something new to begin.Your Dare for the Week ❤️Where might you be holding onto something it’s time to let go of?Revisit the three questions from today (Is this something I can change or influence? Am I expecting someone to act in a way they never agreed to? Is holding onto this expectation costing me my peace?) —and give yourself permission to release what’s not yours to carry.*****************************************************************************************Loved this episode?
