Thank you for sharing this, it is so hard to let go of those habits. Just last night I was talking to my other half and he says anxiety/catastrophising is part of me and I was like I know, I hate it and I want to let it go but I can't. And he was actually like well, it makes you you. So it's just hard isn't it? Yeah I guess it makes me who I am, but it can be so tiring with it! It's always good to know we're never alone in this, so thank you.
When we’ve had certain thought patterns, emotions and behaviors during a long period of time, it can really feel like they've become a part of our personality. Since our brains are malleable and changeable, there's always the possibility of letting go. The problem is that it can be hard to let go of something that has been ingrained in us for so long. It’s always helpful to know we’re not alone in this at least, as you mentioned. Thank you for sharing your thoughts 🌻
It was great encouragement reading this. I’m not good at letting things go. But this theme has been coming up for me. I feel there is much I want to let go of. I think the first thing for me is letting go of small worries and anxieties. As you say trying to surrender more rather than feel the need to control everything. Not letting worries build, but instead observing and letting them pass. Something I need to practice! I hadn’t really thought about defining my why, so something I will be doing going forward.
Oh thank you! Just being aware of small worries and anxieties and wanting to let go of them is a great first steppingstone. Letting go hasn’t always been the easiest task in my experience as well, but practicing it feels very liberating. Sometimes we really need to let go of something to embrace something new. I wish you all the best moving forward 💚
Oh thank you Lyly! I’m so glad it resonates with you. Yes, it can be so hard when something becomes so natural to us. Of course, we’re never walking any path alone in life 💚
Really needed to read this today. Thank you!
I’m glad you enjoyed it 🌻

Hmm, experimentation supports me in the art of letting go. Everything has its own way of being released.
That’s usually very true in my experience as well. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
