I’ve found that most relationships are really good at telling the difference between when you should let go and when you should hold on to something. We tell ourselves and our partner that it’s time, we look at each other and wonder if it’s finally time. And we do what we can to make it work. But what happens when you really miss it? If you love something set it free.
There’s something magical about letting go: even if it means releasing a bit of anger or pain. There are so many wonderful feelings in life – when you’re inspired, when you meet someone new, when a project is done, you find new things to strive for. Letting go of control over those feelings of dissatisfaction and longing for the things you’ve lost can give you a renewed energy for living. Even if you don’t let go completely, you can release little by little, by putting what needs to release into action.
Sometimes when we decide to let go and release something: we do it unconsciously. It takes some intentional effort on our part to really let go. For example, if you love someone, but constantly find yourself holding onto them, this can be very unhealthy. You might find yourself resenting them constantly and blaming them, even if you haven’t really done anything wrong. Or you might find yourself angry and resentful, blaming others, and holding on to them so tightly that you can’t let go. Taking small steps toward releasing the attachment will help you find happiness again.
If you love something and want to find happiness with it: even if you aren’t sure where to begin, start with this one simple step. When you decide to let go, focus on the love you have for the object or situation. Imagine how it would feel to let it go, to release it. Make it easier on yourself than it would be to resist letting go. If you can create an easy metaphor in your mind, that helps you to focus and then keep that image in your mind.
Another great metaphor for letting go: is to imagine the struggle you would face if you truly let go. It would be like quicksand, but instead of going down the path of least resistance, you are bound to be pulled out if you hold onto the object or situation. That struggle could be as good as releasing the attachment, but if you resist, it could become much more difficult than simply letting go. So if you don’t want to be like those people that just let things go, then start with this simple step.
The most important part about releasing attachments: is being able to accept that you do have a true love for someone or something. You must really want it before you can let go, otherwise what would be the point? You can find out more about how to release an attachment by clicking on the link below.
No matter what, the sooner you start putting your happiness in alignment with the Law of Attraction, the sooner you will start to feel more happiness.
