Showing results for "Letting Go" in Psychology & Mental Health

The Art of Letting Go is all about organizing the mess in your mind. It's about how to stop focusing on the past that is over, or the future that may never occur, and being present in the situations that you can actually have agency in.

Letting go is not a process that comes naturally to us. In a world that teaches us to cling to what we love at all costs, there is an undeniable art to moving on - and it's one that we are constantly relearning. In this series of honest and poignant essays, Heidi Priebe explores the harsh reality of what it means to let go of the people and situations we love most - often before we are ready to - and how to embrace what comes next.

When you let go, you live intuitively. Everything flows, because you are no longer attached to things being a certain way, to being a certain person or always being right. What a relief. The irony is that when you feel stuck in any area of your life - career, relationships, purpose, health or money - letting go can seem very hard. You cling on for dear life just at the moment you need to take the leap. In The Power of Letting Go, John Purkiss explains why we should let go and how we can do it, using proven techniques to make things happen.

I, Dr. Tim Carey - Mental Health Trainer, offer a perspective on the difficulty people face when letting go of past events. I believe that individuals often think they can't let go, but when questioned, they often reveal that, in reality, they don’t want to. I posit that there is always a reason, no matter how impractical it may seem, for holding onto these experiences. Understanding this underlying motivation is crucial, as letting go naturally happens when the need to hold on fades. I emphasize that we are generally good at letting go of things that don't matter, and when we struggle to do...
