TRUE or FALSE: I find it easy to “let go.”

Letting go of something you’re holding onto—whether literally or figuratively—can be challenging and complex, no matter what it is or how much time has passed. We understand how hard this can be, so there’s absolutely no judgment here. 🙋🏻

What has your experience with “letting go” been like? Do you find it easy, or does it depend on the situation? If you’ve learned how to let things go in a way that works for you, what helped you get there? What tips or insights would you share with others?

If your mind feels foggy or overwhelmed at work or school, this takes ten seconds and actually helps.

When your mind feels stressed or foggy, it is often because you never truly pause. Staring at screens for hours trains your nervous system to stay tense, even when you think you are pushing through productively. This simple exercise helps reset that pattern by giving your eyes and mind a moment of openness. Every ten minutes, take ten seconds to look at something about ten feet away, not your phone but the space around you. Looking up instead of down creates distance from the task and reminds your mind that what you are working on is not as overwhelming as it feels. Small pauses like this can bring more calm, clarity, and focus than forcing yourself to keep going. Have you ever noticed how much better you feel after even a brief break?

This moment

Most people are never fully here.
Their mind is already chasing the next moment, the next solution, the next version of life where everything finally feels okay.

There is a quiet belief running in the background that says,
“This moment isn’t important. The next one will be better.”

But life does not happen later.
It only ever happens now.

When you are constantly waiting for the next moment, you miss your own life while it is unfolding.
You miss small moments of calm.
You miss relief that is already available.
You miss the fact that right now is survivable, even if it is imperfect.

Healing does not happen in the future.
Peace does not live in tomorrow.
They are practiced in this moment, exactly as it is.

The present moment is not standing in your way.
It is the only place your life actually exists.

How often do you catch yourself waiting for life to start later.
What would change if you let this moment be enough, just for a minute?

Also, if you're going through a tough time right now, I want you to know that I post daily mental health videos about how to deal with painful thoughts. So if you or anyone you know is struggling and wants help, click on one of the links below or write me if you have any questions you want me to answer

I am not finding the type of mental help that I want that can help change my life

There was one time I was hospitalized in a residential treatment center in Florida and one of the female mental health techs that I kept talking to and opening up to told me to make a wish and it will come true. I feel like the wish is coming true but it wasn’t even like a big wish. I wish I made a better wish. I wish that I can have 100 more wishes come true because honestly right now my life sucks and I am barely living. I hope I can get my 100 wishes one day soon. It would mean the world to me if I do.
