Just. Let. Go.

You didn’t expect this one so fast did you? No, it’s not a joke, what do you mean. Had some inspiration today so I thought, why not. I hope you won’t get mad at me for sending two pieces two days in a row. Anyway… I caught myself thinking today about some past events and how we as people just end up wasting sooo much time tied to past in one way or another. It just stays with us, it becomes part of us, and we just keep inviting it over and over in our lives even thought in most situations we are aware that we should let go, be for some reason we can’t.

And we can’t because we keep hoping things will work out. Even though hope is good thing in most cases (hopefully), it can create some bad outcomes in our lives. I like to look at it as a tool, which can be used in a good way, but also it can drag you down if you don’t pay attention to what situations you use it in.

For example; Good situation would be something like having hope when you are constantly working on your business and moving in the right direction but things are not working out yet. You have good foundation here, if you weren’t working on it, then it wouldn’t make sense. Let’s pool one classic situation that we were all guilty in some way, shape of form and that’s; you guessed it; Hoping that your ex will come back into your life. Just admit it, don’t be ashamed, welcome to the club. But just stop and think about it. You fantasise about getting back together with person that was awful for you and made your life nightmare. Why? It doesn’t make any sense. I know it’s not that easy because we all have (or at least most of us) these things called emotions, which sometimes make us do some stupid things, but if you think it through it literally doesn’t make any sense. You should be grateful because that person is not in your life anymore.

I know we like to romanticise past, but that’s just our emotions and brain playing with us, so you shouldn’t always believe them. What I wanted to say is, think things through and try to stay level headed as much as possible, try to use logical part of your brain and see what is best for you long-term and try to do that. It takes some time and practice, but it starts to work bit by bit.

So the tl;dr would be something like this: Having ability to let go is powerful skill and you should definitely learn how to use it. Just Let Go. I know you can do it.

And can’t forget visual, so here it is

Close those doors that lead you to nowhere, I know that you know exactly what they are.

Also if you want to learn more about hope and how our mind uses it in different situation read a book called ‘Everything is f*cked’ by Mark Mason. Sounds fun, I know.

And as always, that you for being here and reading my thoughts and takes. Truly means a lot to me. It feels good to just write about it. If you have any questions feel free to reach out.

Until next week (or maybe not)
