You don't "let things go."
How often have you "let go" of something you didn't want??
An unwanted emotion, an addiction, a habit you you wanted to change and "let go of".
"I'm just going to let that go." Did it go??
Â
haha.Like, never. Things leave you when you stop holding on and when you are no longer resisting.
Here is a little video clip from Week 1 of Emotional Mastery - my brand new 6-week online course - which started this past Wednesday, March 1st.Â
In this video I talk about about how alcoholism left me 22 years ago after 5 years of  unsuccessfully "letting go."
When I stopped resisting - stopped judging myself - stopped attacking myself for being a failure and for being weak - and realized, finally, "okay, I'm a drinker. I'm not going to keep fighting myself. I'll have a drink when I want one."
The desire to drink left me shortly after that and I haven't wanted a drink in 22 years.
Letting go didn't work. Not resisting did.
