Such insightful thoughts that made me realize that letting go of someone or a relationship is the best situation that could happen. I still desire to have reconciliation with one of my sons who has not spoken to me in over 2 years. He says my choice to live next to my other son shows how I don’t care for him as he is getting part of his inheritance by doing this. I now see that I cannot change him but I do long to see him and find reconciliation. Until he wants me to visit or talk with me, I will let go and send notes to him. He has a new phone and cannot contact him. I feel very sad, but cannot control him and must let go and let God work within him. Thank you for your article as it freed me to see how I need to breathe and find peace with how this situation is.

In reply to Helen P.. I always want to sit at the edge of seat to read your article, as it inspires and nudges me to be a better person in all ramifications. "Letting go " frees me of my over whelming inner battle that goes on in my mind. As always reals thanks for this powerful perspective.

Wonderful – my area of struggle to let go is my kids. I live by : You are only as happy as you unhappiest child”. I cannot let go of the belief that I put them on this earth so all their good and bad experiences is on me. Not necessarily my fault – but did I consider all that could go wrong/heartaches in their lives when I decided to have them ?
I do feel more and more that having children is EXTREMELY selfish. It is driving me crazy !

This complete article is fantastic. I’m going to print it so I can read it over and over and remind myself of the power practising this breathe and thought process has. I have unrealistically been pondering a situation over and over and although I have managed to push it out of my mind, my thoughts still go to this situation on a daily basis. Wondering why it happened, what was the purpose and meaning of it, and so on. Will it change, or will I get an answer.
Thank you so much for your efforts.

Thank you for this wonderful content of wisdom and advice. I have had a lot of realizations this morning which is making me again overthink just because of someone whom I recently approached for some help and I couldn’t feel the connection. I thought she was a friend but life goes on. So I’ve learned to accept the uncontrollable and uncertainty of this life for my peace of mind.

Our article reminded to just be me, cause they like that version of me! So I will just breathe and live each moment in joy for new experiences I will have!

So many changes in my life these days. Major life changes. But stressing about them, will not change the situation, it will only make it worse.
Thank you for sharing this post, very good points to follow.

I find many of your comments to be affirmations of some of the changes I have made in my approach to life. I spent 19 years in an on- again, off-again relationship. The red flags were in my face, but I believed that if I loved this person enough, he would ultimately commit to me and want me. Ours was a miserable relationship, as what I hoped would never materialize. I had to seek the help of a therapist to extract myself from this very toxic relationship. She helped me to identify the self-esteem issues I had. Learning to reframe questions was an essential part of my journey to a better place. Challenging the stories I told myself, was another. It took some effort, but how liberating it was to to feel the change in my attitude as a result of learning realize and accept that he was the wrong person for me. Our value sets were totally misaligned. I learned to know thaI I deserved better for myself and moved on without regret for what ‘might have been’. He continued to self-destruct. I began to thrive. I appreciate the email messages you send. They remind me of my journey and re-affirm my resolve to take better care of how I respond to difficult and potentially painful situations. My life is so much better today. I have a very happy and fulfilling 22 year relationship with a man who truly cares for me and I care for him. We have a healthy respect for each other and our own selves. Now 70 years old, I am calmer and wiser and so much more at peace with what is. Self reflection is an ongoing part of my peace. Owning what I say and do is empowering. I am able to judge myself and others with more empathy and kindness. Adversity is sometimes a good thing, as one can learn from experience. Accepting life’s bumps (and there are plenty of those) with grace and calm is a valuable skill I have acquired and I am so grateful for that. I am happier in my own skin than I have ever been. Thank you for your supportive messages. They do help to keep me on track.

I am taking care of my neighbor, traveling companion and good friend. He has many health issues. I’ve been telling myself it’s up to me to keep him alive. Today, after reading your article, I realized it’s not up to me. I put the glass down.
He has gotten very comfortable with my doing so much for him. He is greatly appreciative but takes offense when I say I’m the only one trying to keep him alive. I can’t change him or his behavior. Breathe, float, and leave the glass where it is.
Jesus tells us to love our neighbors and I thought that was what I was doing. But perhaps I was just filling my ego and the feeling of being needed.
I have a whole lot of journaling to do to figure out what else the story could mean.
Thank you so very much for all your great insights. I’m going to go drink that glass now.

In reply to Sheri. Creative visualization is an effective method. I learned it many years ago at an EST seminar in SF.
