Good morning. I’ve been thinking about the power of letting go. And how sometimes we hold on too tightly to an ideal or expectation.
Often, we think it’s how we should be. But who gets to decide this?
Only YOU hold the keys to your happy life.

Dear Struggle…
I heard some interesting advice the other day. Someone shared that when they were struggling with an issue, it helped to “write a letter to their challenges.”
So, I’ve been trying this – and LOVE it. Mine doesn’t take the form of a full letter – it’s a journal paragraph.
But what happens when you write to your challenge is quite stunning.
By doing this, you:
- can put your problem into perspective. While it feels like a mountain in your head, it may just be a molehill in the grand scheme of life.
- process your emotions around it. What is making you afraid? Or angry? Why does it bother you so much?
- gives you a chance to answer. Once you process, your mind naturally shifts. Often, your heart already knows the right answer or path to address your problem. It just needs a chance to be heard.
Give it a try and reply to tell me how it went! It can be a game-changer for helping you let go.
