We acquire so many things because we believe that this thing, this experience, etc., will make us happy. We can replace the old story with something more supportive at any time during the day or simply repeat it over and over as a way to calm the mind and body.Ģ) Let go of stuff. Here are the three different types of letting go we talked about:ġ) Let go of story. What stories about yourself are keeping you wound up? For example, when difficulty arises in a relationship, it may trigger thoughts like: “I am not good enough,” or “I don’t have enough.” What story can you let go of? What story do you want to cultivate that creates more peace and balance? This is one that I use often: “I am being fully supported and have everything that I need right now.” I automatically feel more peace and inner stability after a minute of repeating this phrase. Earlier in the year, James and I were talking about how the act of letting go helps you to be more content with less. James is a Co-Founder of Spirit Rock Meditation Center and the author and originator of the class and book, Awakening Joy and Awakening Joy for Kids. I came into contact with the practice of letting go from one of my first teachers and mentors, James Baraz. One practice that brings us closer to strengthening our inner stability is letting go. In fact, we can reach some of these goals by simplifying our approach to everyday activities and encounters. 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.I often ask my students, “What are you really hungry for now?” They don’t say French fries or more clothes.
