Letting go means detaching ourselves from everything that is deemed unnecessary. This therefore touches on everything that makes us suffer or that prevents us from evolving. This journey above all requires us to change our habits, to find new self-confidence, and to learn to live in the moment.
10 Practical exercises to help you let go and rediscover yourself
1. Stop saying "yes" to everything!
Instead of being so agreeable, listen to yourself, take care of yourself and above all think of yourself. Learning to say no will do you a lot of good and allow you to recharge your batteries.
2. Dedicate yourself to relaxation

Change your inner speech by being kinder to yourself. In concrete terms, replace your negative or worrying ideas with positive ones.
4. Opt for an invigorating alarm clock
As soon as the alarm clock rings and your eyes open, try to smile! The morning is a very important part of your day and has a decisive impact on your mood. Your morning routine is therefore very important, so don't hesitate to drink a glass of warm water with squeezed lemon to vitalize your body.
5. Choose to live in the moment
When you spend your time thinking about the past or even anticipating the future, you forget to live in the present moment 100%. Open yourself up to daily pleasures and invest in yourself by living the moment to the fullest.
6. Learn to put things into perspective
It's not the end of the world if something doesn't go as you planned. It’s very important to keep tabs on reality and to forgive yourself.

You may have a tendency to channel certain personality traits in public, but are they really who you are? Letting loose by dancing, singing at the top of your lungs, or laughing out loud are all great ways to wave goodbye to your self-control.
8. Have a sense of gratitude
Write down in a notebook all the positive things that have happened in your day. This way, even after you've had a bad day, you'll see all the great things that have happened previously!
9. Listen to music
Take the time to sit back and listen to some music in a quiet place, ideally with headphones. That way, you can focus on one thing and forget about everything else.
10. Spend time with your loved ones
Get involved with your loved ones and listen to their problems. This will put your own problems into perspective!

Editor's opinion: Freeing yourself from psychological chains isn’t easyTrying to suppress our natural worrisome traits is ironically encouraging us to pressure ourselves into not pressuring ourselves! Those who struggle with this concept often have a tendency to hyper control things in their lives. They believe that everything results from their actions, and that micromanaging is therefore essential. The parental and educational model obviously plays an important role in our ability to escape our demons. When trying to free your mental load, it’s important to keep in mind that letting go is not an objective in itself, but a key to fulfillment, a means to return to a balance. 🤗 Understand yourself, accept yourself, be happy...
