Let Go or Be Dragged

🌸 Inspiration Corner

“If you can’t do anything about it, then let it go. Don’t be a prisoner to things you can’t change.” – Tony Gaskins

There’s this moment—always quiet and sneaky—where I catch myself clinging to a problem like it’s my job to fix it... even when I know I can’t. Sound familiar? It’s that mental loop we keep replaying, trying to rewrite outcomes with “what ifs” and “should haves.” But here’s what I’ve learned the hard way: holding on to what we can’t control only adds weight we were never meant to carry.

When I finally started practicing actual letting go—not just saying it but living it—I felt something shift. My energy returned. My mind cleared. The present moment showed up like a long-lost friend. Letting go isn’t giving up; it’s giving yourself back the freedom to breathe, move, and grow without chains made of worry.

The “Release Ritual” for Mental Clarity

Here’s a quick technique I call the “Release Ritual.” Every evening before bed, I take 3 minutes to write down one thing that bothered me during the day—and then I write one sentence starting with, “But I choose to release it because...”

For example: Today, I felt ignored during a meeting. But I choose to release it because carrying that frustration won't change what happened, and I deserve peace tonight. Simple? Yes. Silly? Maybe. Powerful? Absolutely. This tiny mental cleanse keeps emotional clutter from piling up, and I sleep easier knowing I’ve honored the emotion without becoming it.

Real Women. Real Mindful Moments.
In this space, we spotlight everyday wins from fellow women business owners who are practicing the art of letting go—of stress, guilt, pressure, and perfectionism. Here are three beautiful moments of clarity, told in their words.

“After losing a major client unexpectedly, I was wrecked. But instead of spiraling, I started meditating every morning. It taught me to accept what I couldn’t change and keep showing up anyway. Two months later, I landed a dream partnership I wasn’t even chasing.” – Nadine, Brand Strategist

“I run a co-working café, and I used to obsess over every tiny review. One bad comment would ruin my week. Now I pause, read it once, take what’s helpful, and literally whisper ‘let it go’ as I exhale. The freedom? Priceless.” – Bea, Café Owner

​“I was burning out trying to please every wholesale client for my handmade candle line. When I finally set boundaries, I felt guilty—until I realized my energy is my greatest resource. I let go of overdelivering, and my creativity came back in full flame.” – Jen, Artisan Entrepreneur
