Time for a Seriousness Detox

When we take ourselves and our lives too seriously, we often focus excessively on minor details and seeking control. This can limit our ability to adapt, grow, and succeed. And it sucks our energy in a big way! [1]

Consider today, that letting go of the controlling the process and the outcomes in our life, will significantly support greater flexibility, adaptability, progress and overall success!

It can feel scary to let go of holding the reigns so tightly, but we’ll have a look at why we should, and how we can.

**What’s One Thing / Area of Life You Take Way Too Seriously 😒

What’s one way you can let go? Can you move on that today?**

Does This Common Pitfall Also Hold You Back?

When we feel insecure about something, we can hold on more tightly than we need to.

We almost unconsciously turn up the serious meter, in the hopes of CONTROLLING everything TO work out ok, so that WE will feel OK.

But timeless wisdom tells us that holding on so tight, holds us back from what we want most…

<aside> 🤔 Can you relate? When do you turn up that serious meter? Does it work?

How to Be Free, says the Sages of Ages

The concept of ‘letting go’ has been recognized in Eastern and Western traditions for centuries. But with a greater focus on money and power in the last century, we have regressed. [1]

Learning how to let go, so that we can be happy and free (and probably more successful) is simple. We need to find genuine acceptance: ‘our feeling of OK’ in our own Self-Love, rather in the outcome of what we’re trying to control.

<aside> 🧘🏼‍♀️ The key to letting go is to bring awareness to the present moment, accept what is, and release attachment to past or future outcomes. For empathic people: the best way to do that is to give ourselves Love, and compassion for each and every part of this present moment, despite outcomes.

****Let’s Let Go of 1 Massive Energy Suck Today.

  1. Ok it’s Saturday. So choose the biggest thing you feel serious or stuck or like you need to control today: the one thing that’s gonna drain your fun and freedom today? It could be getting everyone to soccer on time. Or cleaning the house in time for visitors. It could seem small and subtle. Whatever it is. Write it down.
  2. Feel the tight energy, the control, the seriousness you have about this one thing. What does that energy feel like? Do you like it? Does it give you energy, or take energy away?
