Let us understand some essential things to let go in order to achieve true happiness and harmony in our lives. It doesn't mean we have to let go of what we really want, just eliminating the unwanted part of it.-

Negative self-talk

Whenever you find yourself saying, 'I cannot have this" or "it's too much for me" or "I don't deserve it" , know that you are a victim of negative self-talk. Deliberately start changing these statements to, "I have more than enough", "I deserve the best", "I can have whatever I want." Even studies show that Positive affirmations bring magical changes in your life.

Limiting Beliefs

Whenever you find yourself getting engaged in negative self-talk, understand that there is a deeper reason behind it. It is your belief about yourself which is making you say all that trash. It never has ever done anyone any good. So just let go of limiting beliefs about yourself and your life.

Hurtful memories

They give us nothing but pain. Some incidences happen in our life to give us some important lessons. It is important to keep the lessons and let the memories go.

Negative emotions

They are the charge which makes a memory painful. If you are facing difficulty in letting go of those memories, just let go of the negative emotions associated with those memories.

Sabotaging and limiting habits

Over the passing years of life, we develop many habits which contribute in either making or breaking us. As the only constant thing in our lives is change, it is important to change our habits as well. Let go of those habits which are not letting you grow and develop in life. Try inculcating new habits which facilitates a smooth life. But the question is, how do we identify which habit to let go? The answer is quite simple. Habits which are acting as hindrances in your growth, it is time to wave them bie bie.

Letting go is not as hard and painful as it is perceived to be. Once you just let go, you realize that you have found yourself!

Life is a balance between holding on and letting go. ~Rumi
