Learning How to Let Go: A Technique for a More Fulfilling Life
How I improved my emotional and physical health
Since I can remember, I have always been a sentimental girl. Holding tightly to any possessions which reminded me of childhood memories, holding tightly to people I have met in my teens, even though I no longer felt any meaningful connection other than shared memories.
The nostalgia seemed to follow me wherever I went. I hardly felt settled. By longing for the past, I have been missing out on the present.
I believe things, people, and events meet us precisely when we are ready to receive them. I did not look for it. The practice found me.
Letting Go: The Pathway of Surrender, by dr. David R. Hawkins is the book that detached me from nostalgia, pain, resentment, and conditional perception of life.
Being controlled by your emotions, automatic reactions is exhausting, needless to say, unproductive.
I have never given the thought of being a spiritual person. Neither have I contemplated the notion of spirituality until I have come across Maya Angelou’s definition of it: a surrender.
