I will be honest, these past couple weeks leading up to the solar eclipse have been intense for me, emotionally. I have been completely exhausted and have felt like crawling out of my skin. This has felt like shedding another layer of skin, another layer of the old me that is no longer serving me, another layer of me that cannot come into my new reality with me.
Life has felt so weird for me lately, but I feel myself getting lighter as the days pass by. I see myself improving and elevating, like my avatar in a game is getting to the next level. Which, let’s be honest, is exactly what this reality is anyways. I feel myself letting go of control and surrendering to this path I’ve chosen. The path of freedom and peace, the one where I allow myself to take up space unapologetically.
So, why am I letting go and surrendering?
Letting Go Of Control
You know when you roll down the window in your car, the temperature outside is just perfect, a great song is playing, your hair is flowing back, the moon is shining so bright, and you feel the coolness of the air on your hand outside the window? That feeling of being infinite. That’s what letting go of control feels like.
Letting go of control brings me back to my soul. It reminds me that I am infinite. I can allow the flow of life to wash over me and take me in my destined direction.
Letting go of control allows me to see everyone on a soul level, to understand that we all have our own journeys and are always doing the best we can with what we have in the moment. And most importantly, letting go makes me less angry and stressed, and happier.
What do I mean when I say letting go? I mean releasing the expectations, the overthinking, the reasoning behind the things that happen. Letting go of the logical and realistic mind that thinks things are impossible, and surrendering to the magical and mystical world that we truly live in. Take your thoughts, fears, negative emotions, and any blockages out of the equation. How would it feel?
How To Let Go?
I’ll be honest, I don’t have a step-by-step guide on how to let go.
It all starts with changing your mindset, as all things do, and finding the things that allow you to let go. It takes an awareness of yourself and the world around you.
For me, it all started when I found my spirituality again after being away from it for a long time. It finally all clicked for me when I was vibrating with energy and love during a deep meditation and realized that I was all energy. And since energy cannot be created nor destroyed, we must be infinite. There must not be an ending or a beginning. It all just is.
Then, I started doing more research on our bodies and especially our brains. What many people don’t realize is that we are constantly creating our lives through our thoughts and our frequencies. Which is why it’s so important to rewire our subconscious and actively control our conscious thoughts.
You are the creator of your reality.
Befriend That Ego
Our ego holds us back from a lot. As I’ve said in one of my previous posts, our ego is there to protect us. It keeps you in your comfort zone and starts freaking out when something is out of that comfort zone. Like letting go of control. Ego loves control, and it loves being in charge.
Once you do befriend your ego and start realizing that all it wants is love and compassion, you’ll be able to differentiate between the ego and your higher self.
I understand what it’s like when things are peaceful and going well, and then you start freaking out and creating problems that aren’t really there. The ego is not used to this peace if you’ve been living in chaos for most of your life. Those alarms going off in your head are just a sign that the ego is afraid of what it’s not used to, and that this is not in the comfort zone. Take a deep breath and open the dialogue with yourself. Ask yourself why you’re feeling the way that you are, and why these thoughts are coming up for you.
Those fears in your head aren’t really yours. They belong to your ego. Write those fears down and start recognizing what is yours and what isn’t. Start working through them to make way for the endless possibilities that life has to offer.
Dump Those Thoughts
For those that are natural overthinkers like me, I recommend just dumping all of your thoughts onto paper or even talking/singing it out if that’s something you prefer. I even talk to myself most of the time. This is because I’m getting rid of all the thoughts and letting them flow somewhere. I just don’t want to hold them in.
Just being able to write out all of my thoughts or say them out loud really helps me let go of the overthinking and the spiraling. Don’t get me wrong, I still have a lot of thoughts, I’ve just broken up with the spiraling and the negative ones.
Remember, that ego really wants control because it wants to protect you. Start differentiating your true intuition and loving thoughts from the ego.
Trust Yourself and the Universe
This really comes down to faith in yourself and the Universe. Are you always unsure of your decisions and scared to take the leap? Are you worried that things won’t work out the way you want them to? Why? What about your decisions isn’t making sense? Is it because you don’t really want something but feel like you should want it?
You have to learn how to have faith in yourself and how to see your worth. I previously talked about self-love and just how important it really is. This kind of falls into a similar category, in that you have to learn to trust yourself and follow the things that you really do want. Not the things that you think you should want, or the things that others want for you, or even the things that society says is normal to want.
So, here’s what I want you to do. I want you to get out a piece of paper, and I want you to write down the things that you love and what makes you happy. I mean really love. The things that make your heart full, that make you happy to be alive. And, when you finish your list, I want you to start doing those things more often. I promise you, the more you start doing these things, the more everything will align. The universe will hear you loud and clear and give you what it is that you want. But you have to trust yourself and you have to see the magic that is all around you first.
Don’t Stress Over the Why’s and Detach from Expectations
That man you really like didn’t call or text you back? You didn’t get the job that you really wanted? Your car broke down on the way to an event you were really looking forward to? Know that it was all for a reason. Don’t stress about the why and know that it is all a redirection and/or protection. Trust that the universe is there for you, working behind the scenes, helping you in ways that you can’t even comprehend.
There are so many things we can’t possibly understand, so many things that are bigger than us. Take a deep breath, feel the emotions you’re feeling in the moment, and then let it pass.
Detaching from expectations allows things to flow. In all reality, nothing is really yours because anything can change at any moment. You can be in love with someone, and they can be your whole world, and then one day you might wake up and realize that you’re not the same people anymore and things aren’t working out. You can have this great job with a nice salary and benefits, but just decide that you don’t want to work there anymore because you’re not happy.
My point here is that things are constantly changing, so allow them to. Don’t hold on to the things that are not for you anymore. Don’t dwell on why things happened a certain way and what you could have done differently. Instead, take it all as a lesson and learn to move on to the next cycle of your life with more knowledge and understanding.
We Are All Infinite
I won’t go too much into the spirituality, because I’ve noticed that I may sound a little crazy at times. I just want you to take this with you… You are an infinite being. You are the creator of your reality. There is so much love, light, wisdom, and courage inside of you waiting to be set free into the world.
We are all on this big floating rock, coexisting, one collective consciousness. All connected and all fractals of God. You’re here for a reason, you have a journey to go through. Don’t be afraid of failing, because failure does not exist, only lessons. Don’t spend so much time on the what if’s because they are holding you back from taking that step towards the life you want.
Let go of expectations, of control. Trust yourself and the universe. Decide what is that makes you happy and do it every day. Allow the magic of love and the divine to enter your reality, and don’t try to block it or define it. It’s not logical for a reason. Feel it, experience it. Open your heart to the reality that anything is possible in this beautiful and intelligent world.
