Letting Go is a Process
So you decide it’s time to let go. You’ve had the monster epiphany that you can’t unsee about your situation and, in no uncertain terms, it’s saying – move on from that relationship that’s not working. Now you’re ready and you’ve decided this is it. Tomorrow you’re done. You’re letting go and moving on.
It all comes down to tomorrow.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but it doesn’t really work like that. Moving on is a process. A not always fun, not always pretty, unpredictable process that you have to go through if you want to make it to the other side.
So, what’s that process like? You can watch the video below, or you can keep reading below for more!
Grounding yourself in Big Wild Love
The first step of coming to terms with letting go? Big Wild Love. You need to know that what you want is out there and available to you.
You have to look internally and get into the nitty-gritty of why you were in this relationship for so long and what keeps bringing you back so that you can choose what you really want the next go around.
What do you want?
Decide what you really want for yourself. YOU. Not your mom, or society, or whatever external force has been guiding you, but you. That gives you something to focus on and look forward to. Having a goal brings you from the sadness of the past to the possibilities of the future.
Find a support system that works for you. It could be routines, hobbies, friends, family, etc. But find something or someone that honors your feelings, keeps you accountable, and pushes you to be the highest version of yourself.
Make a plan
There will be a point where you feel the urge to rethink things and go back to the situation you’re trying so desperately to let go of. It’s inevitable. Letting go involves grief and loss. Be prepared and have a plan in place that will put you right back on your path.
Letting go is a process
Don’t be afraid to take your time. Build your net to catch you when you finally let go.
