How Can Letting Go Empower Us?
Letting go is frequently challenging. But doing so opens you up to tremendous amounts of positivity.
This can present a huge number of issues, however. Sometimes letting go is challenging because deep emotions can be connected to the thing you need to release. No matter how logical you might style yourself as being, nor no matter how hard you try to not hold onto emotions, this can be complicated.
Yes, I have written many times that we are all able to control our emotions. I know that things happen that create an emotional response that may begin outside of our control. But how long we let it fester, before taking control of it, is wholly up to each of us.
Even knowing this, however, doesn’t make certain situations easier when it comes to letting go. If something evokes a particularly strong emotion, or is attached to something long-standing and difficult, it may feel as if you are asking the impossible.
Consciousness creates reality. If I hold on to negative emotions, pain, suffering, victimization, I am going to only draw more pain, suffering, and experiences where I feel victimized to me. This is how the Law of Attraction works. And you know what? Even if you find all my writing about conscious reality creation and this hooky-spooky stuff kind of hokey, do you desire bad feelings? Do you prefer to feel negativity regularly?
I’m pretty certain that the answer is no.
This is why letting go, though challenging, is majorly empowering. When we do things that empower us, we improve our lives. Why? Because empowering is gaining some control. Empowering gives you authority over you own life, strengthens you, and generates more confidence. You free yourself from feeling like life happens to you. You let go.
Letting go frees you
It is not just a matter of freeing you from feeling bad, or dwelling on a negative thought, feeling or action. It is a matter of decision. This is a matter of cutting off that feeling of having no say, no control, now power over you own destiny. You are saying “I have had enough”, and you choose a new direction.
I know that this is often easier said than done. But that does not lessen its impact. When we desire to let go of something that feels as if it is rooted deeply, and connected to strong thoughts and/or feelings, it can feel wrong. This can feel like we are letting go of something that is a part of ourselves. When it is gone, will we still be the same? Do we lose something in letting go?
Yes. We lose the albatross around our neck. That long-standing grudge. The deep, unfortunate, almost unforgivable hurt. We lose something we do not need, because it has been getting in our way. This is not a true part of ourselves. It is a lie we believe is true.
Letting go sets us free to make improvements. We can build tremendous positivity, and share it with others.
Important note – letting go is not ignoring righting a wrong. This is about empowering ourselves to do just that.
Finding positivity is not hard, but it does require action.
Knowing that letting go of deep-rooted thoughts and feelings can empower us to better our lives, we gain an incredible tool to build positivity. When we work with this to make change in the world around us, ultimately we not only others around us, but we majorly empower ourselves. When we feel empowered, we often spread that feeling to others around us, and as such can build more positive feelings. We can use the positive feelings this generates to dissolve negative feelings. When we take away negative feelings, we open up space to let in positive feelings, and that is something we can be grateful for. Gratitude leads to happiness. Happiness is the ultimate positive attitude. Positive attitude begets positive energy, and that is always a good thing.
