I think of letting go as diving in, not turning away. As living in each moment, getting as close to a full life experience as possible in this one moment. To do that, you need to learn how to let go of what isn't yours to hold forever. Here are a few ideas that can help.

If what you've been telling yourself your whole life doesn't serve you anymore, keep reading. This is all about dropping the words you’ve been holding on to and cozying up to something far much more liberating: another possibility.

Judgment is exhausting. All the energy we spend on judging could be spent on feeling good and making a positive difference. These affirmations take the focus off of the other person and places it back on you and *your* life. This is your LIFE, after all.

Today, my dad would've turned 61 and I would've bought him donuts and made coffee for us both. Instead, I’m sharing some good news in honor of him: I wrote a book! If you love sleep, too, and healing better, and not taking all your worries to bed with you, read this. I made something for you.

For the kind of wisdom that only comes from someone who "walks their talk," read these Eckhart Tolle quotes. The man's words will encourage you to stop fighting against what you don't like. And instead, witness it, allow it, and turn it into something else. Something like peace, right in the middle of everything.

Less doing might lead to more of everything that matters. If your brain and body and soul are begging for a break, check out this list of things to stop doing. It'll inspire you to clear away what's not working for you. So you can pay more attention to what *is* working, and feel so. much. better.

Yoga on your own terms, in your own time... that feels like love to me. If yoga is one way you heal, too, from the terrible things you've been through, read these notes. Whatever you're healing from, you can learn to love better, right here, even after everything. Even in the middle of everything. That's... everything.

What was right for you then may not be right for you today. Where you used to be silent, now you speak up. Where you used to be loud, now you're gentle. You're allowed to evolve and expand and subtract from your life whatever isn't true to you anymore. To inspire you do more of that, read these authenticity quotes.

Forgiveness gives many things, like freedom from having to drag around the weight of what everyone else does. It's a process. The longer you hold a grudge, the longer it takes (usually) for a grudge to stop holding you. But there’s hope still, even after everything. That's the power of forgiveness: newness.

When you let the heavy things go, you can breathe a little deeper. But if you're having a hard time with that right now, use this mindfulness practice to make things easier. It'll help you let your thoughts go just as easily as they came. Less pressure to change, more freedom... to change.
