When Letting Go Feels Impossible, Try This Instead

March 7, 2026 · 16 min

Show notes

Try to let go of a thought right now. Really try. It is still there, and now you are annoyed about it as well.

About 16 minutes, a short talk then a meditation.

Letting go asks you to hold the thing in mind so you can check whether you have dropped it. It is do not think of a red bus, every time. Acceptance says something else. This is here, I see you, you can stay. The struggle was the fuel. Take the struggle away and what is left is just what is.
