Fear of letting go

The secret to letting go is understanding that life will give you something much better than whatever it is it's asking you to give up. You must let go of less, so you can be handed more.

You are holding on tight to something that doesn't serve you anymore.

Even worse, you're hurting yourself by holding onto it.

You feel like you've tried everything in your power to make this situation work but nothing changes.

You are hurting, dissatisfied or numb.

Your grip is so tight, and you feel like you know you need to let go but you are scared.

What if this is all there is?

What if there's no better fit for you out there?

Maybe you just want too much, maybe you're unrealistic, maybe the next job or relationship is going to be worse.

So you lie to yourself, you stay out of convenience, fear or because you once committed to this life.

What are you winning by not making a change?

What would cease to exist / what would you lose if you would let go?

What if you believed that what's for you will never miss you?

I've experienced this in relationships mainly.

I've allowed being treated poorly in my relationships that I knew was not okay.

I chose to ignore red flags and friends' doubts, advice, ... because of fear.

I told myself it was love for the other person, but it was fear for throwing away something that was sometimes amazing and lots of times very toxic.

In my experience, it is one thing to feel and know that you're not with the right person, in the right job position, ... and another thing to take action. To take action takes courage.

You will never have 100% certainty that everything will turn out great, but you must find the knowledge that whatever storm will hit you, you will be able to manage it. You will be fine. You can handle hard and uncomfortable things.

You are unhappy now, so you either run the risk of trying to change it for the better (and maybe trying and changing and grieving multiple times or you just settle for the unhappiness.

What will it be?

Are you ready to let go of what you've been holding onto to open up your hands and receive?
