Struggling to let go of something means that it is deeply rooted within us, hard to separate and just throw away like nothing, without a trace behind. Letting go is a gradual process, the more strictly we would like to handle it, the harder it will get, and the more messy the situation will be. You know, one step at a time, steps should be enough to handle without any further scratches on the wounds. We all have such physical and emotional things and experiences that we often struggle to let go of I will be sharing my thoughts on how I tackled my cases, I hope that helps.
Realization: Why do I want to let this go? There should be some reasons, right? Maybe this is hurting me, this could be something that is making my close ones suffer, or there could be tons of other reasons as well. You pick your one and work on that over and over again. This one works for me the most, I just remind myself why I need this to go away, why I should walk over from this, whenever I struggle to take those small steps. I remind myself of the reason, it works like a charm, trust me on this.
Find me: Well, I am a very good listener who doesn't like to judge people who come to share their feelings, come to seek guidance, come to help them so that they can ease their burden. Well, find someone who would listen to you, be careful while choosing as this might backfire you massively if you fail to pick the right person that won't break you instead of healing you. We the human beings are very diplomatic sort of people, I bet you know that as well.
Time Heals: Give some time, it might take a long time depending on the thing you are dealing with. But no matter what, time heals everything, literally everything. You give time, believe in yourself that it shall pass too, and keep working on the factors, sooner or later you will be healed from the wounds too, it's proven. I have seen countless people, and with time they have healed from the deepest wounds whether it be mentally or physically.
The story is in the middle. I am blabbering but haven't told you the reason behind my experiences, right? So hear me out. That breakdown was from something that lasted for nine months in my life, an amazing nine months that I won't deny. But when things got scattered it took me two years or more to let that go completely and move on. It doesn't bother me anymore nor bug me in any way. Yeah, it caused more damage than it had been enjoyable. I struggled a lot to let that go completely, had to go through all this I am describing in this writing and even more that is beyond mentioning.
Reasons to live: By live, I didn't mean the opposite of death, hahaha. Here it is to enjoy life to its fullest, Find some things that you love to live, feel alive, and create new memories to overlap the old ones. I used to spend most of my time with my friends, hangouts, unplanned tours, and many more. Those helped me to stay engaged with them and slowly but gradually I was able to let off the things that used to hunt me night after night. Look at yourself, are you a failure? Then do something meaningful. No matter how you take the quote of failure being the pillar of success, take it as it is keep on that, and be worthy of living. Make yourself worthy of others, let others rely on you, and be the hope of others, like helping people with your capability that would make them pray for you, and make you happy and alive spiritually.
Professional help: Well, if you are struggling with something that is very very serious, something that makes people extremely suicidal, or makes people go crazy then professional help is a must. On things like that, we shouldn't be carefree, if you haven't seen improvements in a certain period of time it's better to seek professional help if your friends and family have failed to help you heal. I have a friend who has attempted suicide multiple times, friends and family have failed to help him out and the condition has degraded over time instead of getting better so professional help was the last escort.
So yeah, this is it, things that are on my mind to advise right now to my readers who are struggling to let go of physical and emotional things and experiences. There might be even more beneficial advice, check them out, I have mentioned the ones that worked for me the best.
Have a great day,
Take care!!
