1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,560 Speaker 1: I'm always asking questions. The reason why is because the 2 00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:05,839 fund begins when you start researching for answers such as 3 00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:10,480 why do we struggle with letting things go? Plus what's 4 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:14,199 the best way to practice letting things go? My name 5 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:16,440 is Errow. I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf. That 6 00:00:16,559 --> 00:00:19,760 means I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study, 7 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,120 then activate. I call it the daily mess, a chronological 8 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,960 walk through an everyday world. Yep, it's my morning pages. 9 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,839 As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, We as people 10 00:00:28,879 --> 00:00:30,800 tend to throw it to the side because we think 11 00:00:30,839 --> 00:00:33,200 we're going to deal with it later on. Well, when 12 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,640 a subject arrives inside of me, I know it's time 13 00:00:35,719 --> 00:00:39,039 to dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal, but 14 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,920 by doing the research, the picture becomes clearer. This is 15 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,880 the daily mess, learning how to let something go. It's 16 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:51,159 not always an easy task. It involves accepting situations beyond 17 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,399 your control, releasing negative emotions, and choosing to move forward 18 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,119 rather than dwelling on a pass that you can't change. 19 00:00:58,759 --> 00:01:01,759 Mental health experts look at letting go as being part 20 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:06,519 of a true skill. It requires practice and includes focusing 21 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,519 in on what you can control. Learning how to cultivate 22 00:01:10,719 --> 00:01:14,920 gratitude by surrounding yourself with positive influencers. So let's break 23 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,319 this down even more. Learning how to let things go 24 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:23,079 must include acknowledging and accepting your real feelings. Yes, it 25 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,280 is a struggle, but like mentioned before, you have got 26 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,120 to practice. Focusing in on the present is a valuable 27 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:35,000 step and decision. Release your negative feelings such as anger, sadness, 28 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,519 and fear. Gain control of the perspective. Just keep telling 29 00:01:38,519 --> 00:01:42,120 yourself these present emotions are temporary and they're going to pass. 30 00:01:42,599 --> 00:01:45,799 The next step is to physically forgive not only yourself 31 00:01:46,159 --> 00:01:49,079 but those around you all in the name of learning 32 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,159 how to let things go. Hey, coming up next, I 33 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,959 talked a lot about practicing letting things go. What is 34 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,319 that really, hey, welcome back to the daily mess. We 35 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,120 practice letting something go. Making such a statement feels like 36 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:08,240 an emotional setup, it's actually the physical act of shifting 37 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,800 your focus while taking action. Setting goals is very important. 38 00:02:13,199 --> 00:02:17,400 Short term goals. It opens the door to experience a 39 00:02:17,439 --> 00:02:21,240 sense of purpose as well as accomplishment. Never forget when 40 00:02:21,319 --> 00:02:24,360 times get tough and tight, always seek support. You know 41 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,280 who the positive people are in your life. Utilize their 42 00:02:27,319 --> 00:02:31,240 strengths of encouragement as well as guidance. Self care is 43 00:02:31,319 --> 00:02:34,960 also very important. Learning how to nurture your well being 44 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,439 isn't a once in a lifetime movement. Being aware keeps 45 00:02:38,439 --> 00:02:40,840 you ahead of the things that take you down and out. 46 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,800 The one thing people tend to forget to do is 47 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:48,599 allow themselves to grow, embrace new experiences while learning from 48 00:02:48,599 --> 00:02:53,599 past stumbles and tumbles. Practice being patient. Meditation is a 49 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,000 brilliant way to learn how to let things go. Let 50 00:02:57,039 --> 00:03:00,000 go of this need to always be in control except 51 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,120 the unknown. It'll help ease the pain associated with attachment. 52 00:03:04,759 --> 00:03:06,680 I'm Maril, and that's the daily mess.
