When I try to let things go, I usually get hung up on two aspects–the effort or “trying” and my focus on whatever I’m trying to let go of.
When I let things be (like the Beatles sang about), it works out better for me. I’m allowing everything–not just the object of my negative focus–to exist as it is, and I’m no longer trying. Ironically, this allows me to let go much faster, and I can home in on what I truly want. For me, the distinction is small but important. I’ll still outwardly tackle issues and tasks, but while I’m doing so, I’ll continue tidying up my inner landscape.
