Learning to “let go” is the true pathway to a happier and healthier life. I call the things that we hold onto “energy zappers” because they keep us from stepping into the BEST version of ourselves. We’ve all got energy zappers in our life, they are the things that plaque our mind and weight down our heart: The 'shoulds', your own or other people's behavior, clutter, unmet needs, crossed boundaries, half-finished items, an outdated wardrobe, unresolved issues or guilt, eating habits, being undecided about something, a relationship, sleep…In other words, LIFE.

The secret here is in noticing what is zapping you and letting it go, thus, loosening its grip on your life. This usually involves some form of forgiveness or acceptance - whether it's of yourself, someone else or a situation. Letting go doesn't mean we condone a situation or behavior, it's about lightening OUR load. When we let go of whatever is bothering us, we set ourselves free - and have opportunity to reclaim that energy for ourselves. You don’t need to know HOW to let go, you just need to be WILLING. And while you can’t change the past, you can learn from it and change how you feel going forwards. Remember - whatever you find hardest to let go of is probably what you need to let go of the most.

While you may not need to do anything about your list of energy zappers right now, just acknowledging the things that zap your energy will raise your level of awareness and help you begin to unweight its burden on your life.

Try this simple reflection:

First, make a list of what you’re holding onto, what slows you down, what riles you up and anything that keeps you from being your best self.

Then pick just ONE energy zapper that you can release or let go right now. Once we begin to clear the things that drain us, we free up energy to do what we really want!
