Episode 543: The Challenge of Letting Go
Let’s Talk About Letting Go in order to move on or move ahead.
Summary:
Petrina's discussion focused on the challenge of letting go and how holding onto past emotions, situations, or physical items can hinder personal growth and progress. She encouraged listeners to conduct a self-inventory to identify what they need to let go of and highlighted the importance of taking action to free themselves from what is holding them back.
Notes:
Sometimes we need to let go of things to make room for other
things. The other day I was counseling someone who was upset about how a situation had played out – even though the situation was now resolved. The emotions they were holding onto, kept them from objectively being able to see the varied
facets of the situation. This kept them from being able to move on. They needed to let go of the emotional energy that was blinding the to longer term resolution of the matter.
Sometimes we hang onto emotions, sometimes we hang onto physical things, relationships, processes, traditions, that are holding us from moving forward. If you are feeling stuck, not making the progress you’d like, take some time for inventory to see what you might be holding onto or maybe letting it hold you. Are you holding onto a bad fit job, are you holding onto bad fit relationships, are you holding onto responsibilities no longer make sense for your evolution of growth and maturity? If so, figure out a plan to make some change, transition, and let go.
Like the monkey who stuck his hand in a ole to get a fistful of
what seemed to be goodies, and then could not get it’s hand out of the hole while it remained in a fist holding goodies – sometimes that things that seem like goodies can be the very thig that keeps us stuck. Let go, to allow change and to find new treasures and opportunities elsewhere.
