Learn To Let Go And Flow With Life - Continued
To let go of your resistance and to restore your peace of mind, be willing for your life to be however it is and however it may become. You do this by granting permission. "I am willing for my spouse to leave." I give my spouse full permission to be exactly the way he or she is." "I am willing to lose my home." Let go of your demands and expectations for how your life should be and make peace with the way your life is. Restore your peace of mind and your ability to see clearly. Then take whatever action you need to have your life be great.
To make the process of letting go a little easier, there are two very important steps that you can take. The first step is trusting. Trust that no matter what happens, you will be okay. Now this doesn't mean that life will turn out the way that you want it to. Life often doesn't. Trust is knowing that however life turns out, you will be fine. When you know that you will be fine no matter what happens, letting go becomes relatively easy. You can see what needs to be done and the probelm area gets resolved. This reinforces your ability to trust. When you don't trust, life becomes threatening. You fight, resist, hang on and withdraw. You then make everything worse, which reinforces "don't trust." We don't notice, but trust is a choice. Trust is something you create. It's a declaration. "I will be okay no matter what happens. I trust, just because I say so." Trust is also telling the truth. You really will be fine no matter what happens. Just look in your past. You have had difficult times before and you made it through every one of them. If you are in a difficult time now, you will make it through this one too. Life is only threatening when you resist. So stop resisting and trust. Trust that no matter what happens, you will be okay. The second and most important step in the process of letting go is to be willing to feel your hurt. This is important because it's the automatic avoidance of this hurt that forces us to resist. We think that we're resisting our circumstances but we're not. We are resisting all the feelings and emotion that are being reactivated by our circumstances. More accurately, we are resisting a very specific hurt from the past. We are resisting the childhood hurt of feeling not good enough, worthless, not worth loving, or some other form of feeling not okay. Watch Bill talk about these inner core issues. Once you find and heal this hurt, the need to resist or hang on disappears. You can flow with whatever happens and take the action you need to effectively handle your situation.
