How many of you have been told that the final piece of the ‘Law of Attraction’ and ‘Manifesting’ process is to ‘Let it go’? How many of you struggle with ‘letting it go’?
The concept seems so simple – just let it go and trust the Universe – right?
Sure, simple in concept – but then our emotions kick in and the idea of ‘letting it go’ gets thrown out the window.
Why do we struggle to ‘Let it go’?
The plain and simple answer is that even though we want to trust the Universe, we feel much more likely to achieve what we desire if we stay in the driver seat. It’s human instinct to clutch and hold and control. When we operate from the conscious mind we operate from the knowledge of ‘What is true’ in our physical world. BUT – you already know that the conscious mind is just the tip of the iceberg and ‘What is true’ in our physical world is ONLY what SEEMS to be true.
When we are looking to our conscious mind to define reality, trust in the Universe is a tough thing – trust and letting go both rely on our ability to believe that despite what may ‘seem’ true in our external world, there is SO MUCH going on in the ‘unseen’ non-physical world that can bring anything into fruition.
To start to tap into that belief, ask yourself “What if my subconscious mind and the Universe know EXACTLY how to bring about anything I desire, even if my conscious mind has no idea how?”
Seriously, what if that is true?
Now, I want you to suspend your disbelief for just a second here and answer this question, “If it is true that my subconscious mind and the Universe know EXACTLY how to bring about anything I desire – am I free to let go how it is going to happen?”
I guarantee that if you knew that your subconscious and Universe had it all taken care of, you would have no problem letting go – you would willingly surrender because you would KNOW that you were going to be taken care of.
What if you realized that, every time you stop trusting, and start trying to figure out ‘how’ to control the outcome – you actually set your subconscious mind back in its job of manifesting everything you desire? Would you get out of the way then?
Of course you would! If you knew this with certainty, you would make it your job to get out of the way of your subconscious.
Live ‘as if’ it’s true that your subconscious mind knows EXACTLY how to bring you what you desire and anytime you find yourself trying to figure out HOW you can ‘make’ something happen – stop and say this to your subconscious mind…
“Subconscious, I know you know EXACTLY HOW to bring me all of the right people, opportunities and situations to bring about [NAME YOUR DESIRE HERE] or better in my life – and I know that my job is to pay attention to the people and opportunities and situations that show up and listen to your guidance so that the inspired action I can take to assist you becomes clear.”
You will be amazed at all of the amazing things that start to show up in your life!
Kristen – so good to see you in this newsletter. Your ‘words of wisdom’ are something I look forward to each week. We do need to trust ourselves to have many of the answers. Sometimes it’s a matter of connecting-the-dots to bring expertise and experiences together.
Hi Virginia – it’s great to see you here as well! I always appreciate your comments and enthusiasm!!!
Very nice, very well described. Thank you
Just want I needed. I do sometimes have difficult to let go especially with relationships. But if it’s not meant to be, it’s better to let go sooner than later. Moreover, each time we practice let go, we get a little bit stronger. Thank you for the article!
Nature abhors a vacuum so when we make room for nature to fill the void we create the space needed for nature to fulfill our intentions and desires. We need to stop our “grasping with closed hands” and open them to “let go” of our hold and just allow our wellbeingness to unfold in harmony by aligning our thoughts with the natural truths of life.
Oh how I needed to read EXACTLY this! Seriously, you just saved me so much time, energy and angst in 2019! Things are going so well for me and yet I worry about the future. Letting go, letting God. Thank you!
