By trying to control everything that surrounds us, we waste our energy and lose our confidence. How do we succeed in letting go? Here’s the advice of author and psychologist Sylvia Andrew.
Letting go does not mean being lax or abandonment. “It means truly accepting the situation and continuing on its way,” says psychologist Sylvia Andrew, author of My Anti-stress Notebook. “This does not necessarily mean agreeing with what is happening, but rather accepting that it happens anyway. We can affect ourselves and adopt a more flexible attitude. Admittedly, at first, it will not change the situation, but that will change our view of it. We will defuse and eventually de-stress. Later, looking back and earning detachment, we will act wisely.”
