Letting Go Isn’t Giving Up

🌸 Inspiration Corner

"The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward." – Steve Maraboli

Let’s be real—letting go is hard. Especially when you’re a woman juggling a business, emotions, and everyone else’s expectations. But holding on to past failures, regrets, or that one situation that didn’t go your way? It’s like dragging an old suitcase filled with bricks into every new chapter.

I’ve learned that forgiveness isn’t about excusing what happened. It’s about making peace with it, so it doesn’t control what happens next. The situation already ended. The question is: Have we allowed ourselves to leave it behind? When we do, we don’t just move forward—we move lighter, clearer, and more open to what’s possible.



🧘‍ Mindful Living Tip

Letting Go with a Breath

When something heavy pops into your head—an argument, a mistake, a memory—pause. Close your eyes. Inhale deeply. As you exhale, say silently: “That moment has passed. I am here now.”

It’s a tiny gesture, but it signals to your mind and body that you are choosing to be present. You’re not ignoring the past—you’re refusing to let it hijack your now.

“I used to replay a conversation with a client who left a nasty review. It haunted me. Then I wrote them a letter I never sent—just to release it. That act of closure helped me reclaim my peace.” – Yasmin, Boutique Owner

​“My mornings used to start with resentment—at myself, at my ex, at everything. I started writing three things I forgive myself for each day. Slowly, the bitterness began to fade.” – Eliza, Virtual Assistant & Blogger
