Yesterday was the second Friday of January, most commonly known as 'Quitter's Day', the day when most people give up on their New Year's Resolutions.
Perhaps now is the time to let go of New Year's Resolutions all together because letting go is more powerful than giving up.
Here's the beautiful paradox of letting go instead of giving up. It's not an act of weakness - it's an act of profound courage that creates space for change to occur naturally.
When we release our white-knuckled grip on how things "should" be, we open ourselves to how things could be. Letting go isn't about surrendering our power; it's about surrendering our illusion of control. And in that surrender, we find our true strength.
Here's the big question. How do you let go, especially when you are afraid of what will happen?
Let me say first that telling yourself to let go doesn't work. What does work is to create the right climate for surrender -ultimate letting go -to naturally occur. You create the right climate by:
Knowing that you are not alone and so letting go isn't a solo job.
Accessing something beyond yourself so that you know there is a bigger purpose unfolding.
Honoring the natural unfolding of life to lead you in the ebb and flow of letting go and holding on.
Accessing your resilience that reminds you that you have navigated challenge before and you will do it again with a whole heart.
Embracing timing that will invite release and acceptance at the precise moment that is right for you.
You are not giving up. You are giving in to a fresh new space for possibilities, miracles and vitality to move into your life.
Today I invite you to consider the the conditions that support you to let go. Do you know you are not alone? Are you in touch with something beyond yourself? Will you honor the natural cycle of life? Are you resilient? Will you embrace divine timing?
Create the conditions, and you will let go for change to happen.
