There are times when situations and life experiences don’t serve you well. If things go well, you try not to give up and achieve what you opted for, but sometimes circumstances are out of your control. Holding on to something unsuitable for you isn’t a smart move. Instead, it impairs your daily functioning and productivity.
Relationships and Attachments
Life is incomplete without relationships and attachments. It is a cycle of never letting go or giving it all up. Some experiences are cherishable, but a few teach ugly truths and show us the unsavory sides of people. The hurt and pain make us dizzy, yet it trains us to become well-fortified. We attach to people or belongings we love and care for. We gravitate toward people, ideas, hopes, and dreams. Attachment can become so strong that we lose sight of our goals and get blinded. We stop thinking clearly.
People often confuse relatability with attachment. Making someone a part of one’s life is establishing a connection with another person, which can be healthy. On the contrary, when we get attached, our thoughts and energy become disproportionally focused on that person, which hampers our perception. As soon as we become dependent on someone for our happiness, it entangles us. We give away the power of being happy on our own.
While attachment grows, fear also starts to cultivate. Being closer to your partner develops the fear of losing them, which can also be labeled the fear of detachment. We become obsessed, clingy, insecure, jealous, emotional, and even desperate to protect and secure our relationship. Hence, there are times when we get attached to a person but eventually lose them. Few hold onto it and never move on. Of course, it isn’t easy, but to move forward, you must let it go.
Letting Go – Benefits
- Your Relationships Get Better – trying tocontrol the uncontrollable can create tension and consequences in relationships. Trying to dominate others and tell them can be irritating and creates distance. Let the person be who they are, and never try to control them. You must love a person as they are.
- Live Life – when your mind is free from all the negativities, it now has the space to focus on the important stuff. It aids in creating new opportunities and enhances the development of more ideas and better outcomes.
- Self-Esteem Boost – when we let things go, we give up fear and start to control it. As we identify our fears and conquer them, we feel more confident and shift to a positive side which ameliorates our self-esteem.
Things to keep in mind while letting go
- Letting go takes a lot of courage and strength. It can be scary, but it is your way to move forward and gain freedom.
- Humility is the key to success. It is a sign of strength which is different from pride. It expands your learning and makes you a better leader.
- Letting go aids us in achieving and accomplishing our goals. If we don’t let go of the past, we won’t be able to move forward.
