Why is it so difficult to let go? I’m sure you’ve asked yourself this question at least once in your life and been irritated by your inability to push yourself to do it, even if you wanted to. There are various reasons why it is difficult to let go and move on.

Allowing yourself to let go might be frightening. It challenges you to adapt and face uncertainty, which entails letting go of what is familiar and comfortable to you. It’s sometimes easier to stay set and not take a chance, resulting in resistance to change.

It may be tough for you to let go, especially if you have a low sense of self-worth. It’s possible that you’re among those who make negative remarks about yourself. You probably believe you’re ugly, a failure, or that all the bad things that have occurred to you are your fault.

Therefore, here are some easy ways that will help you to let it go.

Spend Time With Your Loved Ones

In instances where it’s difficult to let go and move on, your friends and family can be a great source of comfort and peace. You may go out and talk to people that love you and actually listen to you, and they can provide you with a completely new and different perspective on things.

Go on trip

When it’s difficult to let go, a change of scenery or surroundings can help. Self-sufficiency will not assist you in setting things right. Instead, take a week or a month to get away from it all and pamper yourself with a change of scenery.

Traveling always helps in dealing with yourself. Meet new people and places. It will definitely change your mood and help you to let go.

Learn To Forgive

When it comes to letting go and moving on, forgiveness is one of the most important things to accomplish. Allowing oneself the room and freedom to go on requires forgiving others, forgiving yourself, and forgiving the Universe. “Unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself unless you forgive the scenario unless you recognize that the issue is done, you cannot move on,” Steve Maraboli says. Forgiveness will help you to let it go.

Forgiveness is a vital healing process.

Practice mindfulness

The past might bring up terrible memories and uncomfortable feelings that can have an impact on our future and entire lives. Because of unsolved issues, letting go of the past might be difficult. Remembering the past, on the other hand, is not what causes us grief and suffering, nor is it what binds us to various bad thoughts and feelings.

It is our inability to detach from the attachment to that past that keeps us from finding freedom and happiness. Mindfulness can help us learn how to let go of the past hurts, the past, and the attachments related to it by bringing our focus to the present moment and appreciating what we have right now.

No one outside ourselves can rule us inwardly. When we know this, we become free.” — Buddha

Be gentle with yourself

Don’t be too hard on yourself. It’s not only you that are going through this. There are so many people who suffer from a situation like yours.

If you find yourself blaming yourself for not being able to let go of an unpleasant circumstance, it’s time to treat yourself with respect and compassion.

We can’t avoid pain, but we can take care of ourselves.

Takeaway

Pain is an inevitable part of everyone’s life. It might be hard, but we all have to go through it.

We need to practice letting go. It will make this process easy.

There will never be a time in life when things are easy. There will always be another opportunity to practice accepting it. Every minute is an opportunity to relax and unwind.
