Letting Go Means Accepting What You Can’t Change

Letting go is one of the most natural processes in life. Although it is so common, in most cases it causes enormous pain and sorrow.

Ending a relationship, losing a loved one and moving to a new home are types of goodbyes that we will all experience during our lives. These are experiences that no one has ever prepared us for and that we are almost forced to learn to deal with.

There is no magic formula that can help us better deal with situations where we have to let go. The emotional pain that letting go can cause, if not handled properly, can turn into depression.

In this article, however, we share some advice to help you better deal with these kinds of complicated situations in the future.

You often have to let go of something before you get something back

If you think about it, you’ll realize that ‘letting go’ is the never-ending soundtrack constantly playing in the background of your life.

In our minds the word ‘letting go’ is exclusively associated with pain, loss and suffering. However, sometimes giving up can also make us a little happier.

• Letting go when it hurts you means you prioritize yourself.
• Let go of the people who hurt you to create mental balance and improve your physical health.
• Let go of certain habits, thoughts and limiting attitudes to embrace new possibilities and promote personal growth.

It is important to remember that ‘letting go’ is also an opportunity to grow as a person.

Unfortunately, as you probably know, sometimes “letting go” also means facing a heavy goodbye and finding the strength to move on with your life. Let’s see how best to deal with this.

Give it enough time; beautiful things will appear again

When you lose something or someone, it may feel like a hard slap in the face.

• This feeling may even last for at least two or three months. During this time, you will go through a natural grieving process.

• It is important to remember that ‘letting go’ is also a sign of unsurpassed courage. No one can live while holding on to pain and sorrow.
• When you lose someone, you have to ‘let go’ and ‘release’ them so that you can move on with your life. You haven’t forgotten what you left behind, but you’re just brave enough to smile again.

It needs time. It may be that nothing will be as it once was. While it may be different now, that doesn’t mean it’s necessarily worse. Quite the contrary, this change can pave the way for a new, happy and wonderful situation.

Let go of that which does not want to remain, which does not support you

At times you may become obsessed with the belief that nothing can ever be changed. This may also include the thought that you can’t abandon your partner, even if you don’t love him anymore. However, this is not the correct setting.

• Remember that there is no greater source of pain than denial of reality. In this case we are talking about situations where everything around you collapses and you look the other way to protect yourself from this.
• Let go of what can no longer support you. If you don’t, you’re living a painful and insecure lie that no one deserves.

• You have to be brave and face reality. If someone doesn’t love you anymore, don’t beg for their charity or to “look at it just a little longer.” All you’re doing with this is sabotaging your own self-confidence.

This may seem impossible, but sometimes letting go of something that is no longer profitable for you is a way to find something better.

Life will teach you what to fight for and what to let go

During this intense process of letting go,  you open yourself up to an interesting process. This way you can find out what really matters in your life.

• It doesn’t matter if you find out on this path that you have very few people left. It doesn’t matter to have few people by your side, as long as you focus on the interests you share.

• If this makes you happy, if these people make you happy, then all that ‘letting go’ has all been worth it in the end.

Don’t forget that from everything you left behind you also learned a lot of important things. Everything you’ve been through is important. While some people and experiences are no longer part of your future destinies, they are part of your personal history.
