I have to just let go.

Let go and let God, as people say.

I instead realized that it's a bunch of tiny, again, those micro choices that in this moment

Maybe I don't have to follow up on that right now.

Maybe I can wait another day.

Or maybe instead of me letting myself spiral out about something, I meditate or I take a breather or I go for a walk.

I love to walk also.

I think having movement with mindfulness is really healing for me too.

So there's, I think...

it's those micro movements, the micro habits, the little steps in that direction versus that all or nothing.

I've always been very curious and I haven't done research on it, but I have my own hypotheses as to why our brain loves all or nothing thinking like black or white.

We like to think I'm either letting go or I'm completely held on to something.

It wants to do one or the other, like to Yvette's story, it either wants to be completely fawning, people pleasing or the other.

I would assume it's because our brain loves certainty and those are very clear and direct paths, but it's finding that gray for us.

For me, at least in the letting go, I had to redefine what it meant.

I had to change the way I talked to myself about it.

And then I had to make little micro shifts instead of swinging to the complete opposite.

always want to encourage people to just start being curious through journaling.

I know a lot of times we feel like we have to make changes.

We have to do things, action.
