If you found yesterdays exercise of letting go a challenge then take a look at what the reason might be. Who or what are you afraid to let go of? Do you really have any control over it?
The only thing you can control in life is yourself, your own behaviour, decisions, choices etc. After that the outcome or result is often dependant on other people. You can influence other people to make decisions in your favour and to behave towards you in a way that meets your values however, you cannot control another person. It is their decision or choice as to what they do and the way they behave.
If you are afraid to let go what exactly is it that you fear? What does letting go mean to you? When you make decisions based on your values and your goals and take action you will move towards achieve those goals. However, you are unable to control the results so it's important to let go of the outcome.
An example of this would be you control the preparation for an interview and your performance at the interview. Assuming you have done your best you then need to let go of the outcome. It's not your decision. You have done your best to influence the panel however, you might not be the best person for the job. Learn from the experience and move on.
Best wishes,
