One of the most difficult things to do is to let go- to let go of tension, of fear, of control, and yet, life requires it of us constantly. We hold on in any way we can for as long as we can. We tighten our necks and shoulders and jaws and lower backs. We are in knots from holding on. Even when it's time to relax, we are rigid. Even when it's hurting us to keep on, we cannot stop. We grip and claw and hold fast for all we're worth. We are in pain from holding on so tightly and yet we don't know how to let go.
Let's turn from our fears and be willing to trust the unknown. Let's risk the act of letting go. If we can do it, freedom awaits us, and freshness, and relief. Of that, I am certain.
I practice the art of letting go.
