Is it hard for you to let go? If you’re not sure, considering the following questions may help you decide:
  • Do you find yourself rehashing difficult thoughts and feelings well after the experience that triggered them is over? 
  • Are you a compulsive second-guesser, helper or fixer? 
  • Do you worry and ruminate about things that aren’t within your control or take responsibility for things that aren’t yours to own? 
  • Is it a challenge for you to roll with changes?
  • Though you’d like to be a forgiving person, do you struggle with forgiving yourself and others or do you hold grudges? 
  • Is it hard for you to say goodbye when something has come to a natural end or is now just taking up space/energy in your life?

Like most human beings, you probably responded yes to at least one of these questions. Releasing what is best relinquished rubs against our survival instincts and cultural conditioning. The typical challenges of daily life provide us plenty of opportunities for practice - and these days are anything but typical. Holding onto things in the form of rumination and worry are correlated with depression and anxiety and all the health and wellbeing impacts that come along with our reactions to them. Over time, chronic stress or anger can rob us of our vitality and enjoyment of this one precious life. Fortunately mindfulness has been shown to help decrease these thieves of our time, energy and wellbeing, while strengthening beneficial attitudes that open us to opportunities for joy and greater resilience.

Join psychologist Tracy Ochester, PsyD Friday September 24th, 2021 from noon-2 pm for a workshop introducing attitudes and practices that can help us cultivate the mindful skills of letting go and letting be.
