When we stop fighting the situation and accept it as it is, we free ourselves from stress and negative emotions. Sometimes this means acknowledging inevitable changes or simply changing our attitude towards what is happening.
The Power of Letting Go
Letting go of a situation is not the same as indifference. It is the understanding that some events are beyond our control, and we can choose how to respond to them.
In the psychological field, there is a metaphor of "Devilish Traps," borrowed from a Harry Potter movie. Traps are a tree-plant that constricts whoever gets caught in it. The more a person resists, the tighter it grips. Ultimately, this can be dangerous.
However, if one allows oneself to relax and let go of the situation, the grip of the traps will weaken.
A similar idea is present in Vadim Zeland's "Transurfing Reality" as "Excessive Importance Potentials." The more a person is fixated on an object of excessive importance, the harder it is to achieve the desired result. The best way is to let go of the situation or to move slowly in the direction of what is desired.
How to Understand When It’s Time to Let Go
Signs of "Devilish Traps":
- Emotional state spirals out of control at the mere thought of the situation.
- Sleep disturbances, decreased or excessive appetite.
- Constant feeling of pressure and stress.
If you notice these signs, it’s time to fully relax and accept. The more you stress yourself, the tighter the situation grips. Accepting defeat and being ready to "lose" helps relieve tension and regain clarity of thought.
