Letting Go
Do you ever find yourself struggling to let go of a situation?
Do you ever find yourself uncomfortable with not having control or insight into what happens next? If the answer is yes, you stand in good company. Many survivors experience just that, and it is more common than you think.
It makes sense, as being abused as children not having any control, let alone how to manage.
Is it any wonder then that part of your response to situations is needing to have some awareness and knowledge about what to expect?
If you are one of those people who have been called controlling or bossy or needing to be in charge of everything, it is possible this stemmed from a childhood where abuse occurred.
It is important to have as much understanding as possible about who we are and what has led us to the version of ourselves we are today.
The more you can understand the parts of your personality that need to take control or charge, the more you can gently begin to let go.
You are safe now.
You are held in love and light, with the darkest part of your life behind you. Try not to let the shadow it cast linger longer than it needs to or control your future. You deserve to let go, you deserve to be free and find joy in the smallest of things without feeling anxious or overwhelmed.
Your time is now. Tomorrow could be a completely different story for you, and you can’t rewrite history, but what you can do is enjoy this day, this hour, this moment in time.
Are you aware that everything changes when you begin letting go?
Yes, it takes trust. Yes, it takes a belief that you will be safe. But what you will notice is that you are safe and that if your energy is focused on what could possibly go wrong, rather than what could possibly go right you will end up having to deal with what could possibly go wrong, and that’s not you living a full, relaxed and trusting life.
In the letting go you will find peace. It may surprise you to learn that it was always available to you, in fact it was waiting for you this whole time. You had to feel ready for it however, and when your mind feels ready, the possibilities will emerge. When you begin to feel peaceful and safe there is a whole new quality to how you will experience your life. Letting go does not mean being naive or not trusting your instinct, rather it means allowing the best life has to offer you to emerge. It means allowing a situation to unfold for your highest good and in the best way possible.
Because of your experience as a survivor, it is highly unlikely safety or freedom, or pace was available to you. But I’m here to tell you; It is now.
Start to change your experience by going into the deeper part of you, asking for guidance, and allowing what was always yours to emerge. Trust that it is all there for you, and that peace, gentleness and love are surrounding you. You are an incredible being and deserve nothing but the calm assurance and knowledge that in the letting go, the real gifts emerge. At this point in your recovery, your mind is your most powerful tool and is always guiding you to your higher self and experiences within that realm.
Above all, trust there it was always yours to begin with, I know it and so should you.
