Do it without the purpose of letting go Do it as part of a process Not the quick-fix antidote

I needed to let it goThe guy that broke my heartThe struggle of perfectionismThe fear of not-enoughnessThe insecurity and comparing myselfLet it all go
Old me would have chosen to numbI would have reached for a bottleI would have put lipstick and heels onAnd flirted my way out of feeling not good enough
I decided no moreI know better nowIf I allow myself to feel those bad feelingsThey will all go away
I did yogaI meditatedI journaledI screamed into my pillowI drove really fastI criedI did everything rightAnd yetHe still crossed my mindI still worried if I am pretty enough
Until my inner wisdom stepped inAnd spoke so clearlySo that I could learnThat I was trying too hard
When we let something goWe put it downWe release itNo more effort is involved
So we cannot give a shot to let goWe defeat the purposeWe have to learn to let it be
When the triggering situation crosses your mindAnd you pour that glass of wineOr you roll out your yoga matOr you put on your lipstick and grab that bottle of whiskey
Do it without the purpose of letting goDo it as part of a processNot the quick-fix antidote
It is beautiful to be determinedTo leave the past in the pastAnd grow and move onBut the truth isWe do not have that kind of power
The mind works in mysterious waysHe probably will cross your mind againYou probably will wonder if your nose is too big
Just let it beThe natural flow will kick inAnd those thoughts will move outAs easily as they moved in
When you allow yourself to be in painWhen you allow yourself to be sadOr mad or frustratedWithout needing to fix itWhen you allow it to just beYou find that you never needed to interveneFlow is the nature of the stream
