For instance, he tells you to "just keep telling yourself your painful story until you get bored with it" and then doesn't tell you what to do if you don't get bored with it... if it's still just as painful every time you think about it. Granted, that's what therapy is for and he DOES have a disclaimer to discuss this with your healthcare or mental health provider... but if I'm going to do that, why do I need your book, Purkiss? Learning how to let go of someone you love – someone you’ve built a deep connection with and whom you’ve shared your life with – is likely one of the hardest things you’ll ever have to do. That’s why so many people break up , but stay in touch, never understanding when to let go of a relationship. If these signs are familiar, it’s time to ask yourself if you need to end it completely:Knowing you need to let go and actually letting go are two very different things. These tips will help you discover how to move on once and for all . 1. Recognize when it’s time While something like a divorce or death may immediately seem like a terrible thing, how do we know that it is completely bad? Can we see every possible future outcome and consequence of such an occurrence in the present moment? Of course we can’t. Is it possible that such an experience could actually give birth to good things as well? Of course! Yet we continue to believe and insist that such an incident shouldn’t have happened when the reality is that it is what it is. With or without our thoughts it has still happened. When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us. – Alexander Graham Bell

There is power in letting go. Not letting go of your dreams. Don't let go of your promises. Let go of the frustration of having to have it your way. Take your hands off the wheel and say, "Okay, God. I'm going to let you drive. You know the best path for my life. You can see the detours, the dead ends. You know the shortcuts. God, I'm going to let you take me where you want me to go". That's a very freeing way to live. But so often we'll trust God, we'll stay in faith, as long as God does it our way. You can’t be happy if you’re not peaceful. You can’t be peaceful if you don’t let go. Maxime Lagacé Richard Whitehead believes learning to let go is a realistic way of coping with what the world might throw at you. “Mindfulness gets used to make things feel good,” he says. But letting go is “not clinging to the good times … not pushing away the bad things”. There are courses, podcasts, journals and more books post-Hawkins (Let Go, the Power of Letting Go, Let That Shit Go, the Little Book of Letting Go, the Language of Letting Go), all teaching us how to relinquish the things that are causing us pain or stress. Letting go started with objects, but now decluttering has moved on to the mind. The message in all of these self-help texts: surrender is the surest route to total fulfilment. No matter how hard you try, how much you dream or plan, you cannot change anyone. You cannot make anyone nicer or healthier or a better person. Sometimes, we continue to cling to hope because we’re convinced that we can change our partners, friends or family members. But believing that you can change someone is false hope. Another person can only change if they first decide to change. And this decision to change has to authentically and sincerely come from them (not you). Realizing this can help you practice letting go. Letting Go of Frustration and Impatience

I want to feel more connected, and be able to stay in the present moment more often when I’m spending time with those in my life. Breathe. Let go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure. Oprah Winfrey A lady asked me one time, "Joel, why did your mother get healed from cancer but my mother didn't? We prayed. We believed. We stood on the same scriptures". My answer is always the same. I don't know why. I don't claim to have all the answers but I do know God is for you. He said he would give you beauty for those ashes but you've got to let go of the ashes. Let go of the disappointments. Let go of the hurts and pains. Quit trying to figure out why something bad has happened to you. I had an expectation of perfectionism and a belief that I had to light up every room. Letting go of this behaviour was about adopting a way of life that is much more sustainable,” he says.

In this technique was an echo of Stoic philosophy, including Epictetus’s maxim: “Don’t hope that events will turn out the way you want, welcome events in whichever way they happen. This is the path to peace.” Suffering was the main catalyst for most people in terms of letting go Dr Richard Whitehead, Swinburne University

Ringrose believes that typically, letting go comes at an acute pain point, when holding on hurts more than moving on.God is saying when you go through things that you don't understand it is not the end. God is going to appoint another seed. The reason God says seed is seed represents the future. It indicates what is coming. If you will let go of what didn't work out, let go of the hurts and pains, then for everything you've lost, God will appoint another seed. Everything that was taken away, another seed. You are going to give birth to more in the future than you've lost in the past. Now you've got to do your part and keep moving forward.
