The Power of Surrender: Let Go of Control in Life
Beloved soul, it’s time to let go of control within you. Because controlling your life stops you from experiencing all that life has to offer you.
It is time to let go of control
When this message finds you, you are called by your true self to release whatever you are right now controlling in life.
Are you controlling yourself? Others? The environment or time?
When you control, you are not in alignment or the flow mindset, but surviving.
Deep within you, you are aware that controlling is only causing you delays, anxiety, and impatience. The pain that your inner controller causes within your body, mind, and soul comes from the resistance the controller participates in. Your mind is sabotaging your actions. You feel the only way to survive your situation is to take the lead and control the outcome.
Because what else can you do?
You can stand in your power and surrender to life.
When I say surrender, I mean diving into the unknown. Instead of swimming through all the massive waves in the ocean to get to your destination, you decide to float and allow the waves to bring you there safely without resistance.
There is a difference between carrying yourself through the situation by surrendering and consciously being in your inner power versus needing to take charge and control situations and others’ actions against their free will.
Do you see the difference?
Enjoy the flow
For a second, see yourself jumping into a waterslide.
Will you hold onto the corners of the slide or go with the flow?
If you hold onto the corners – wouldn’t your hands hurt? Wouldn’t that feel uncomfortable and not natural at all?
Tell me, what would happen if you let go of that energy of control?
What could happen if you accept the situation as it is and surrender to life from there- just like jumping to the water slide from pure joy and knowing that it is safe to experience the slide?
When you surrender, you are always held lovingly in the safe arms of the Cosmic Mother, The Universe – Yourself. You provide the safety you need, allowing you to trust in life and others. That safety will enable you to release the control.
The more you control, the further you take yourself from the flow. So once you release the control, your life becomes smoother, more fun, and easier.
The pain that your inner controller causes within your body, mind, and soul comes from the resistance the controller participates in.
How to let go of control?
1. Recognize: Look within yourself: who or what are you controlling? Is someone or something controlling you? Is that person (or thing) a mirror in front of you of something you cannot see within yourself?
2. Accept: Acceptance is a powerful step in self-healing. You are in the control mindset at the moment. Accept it.
3. Transform: Do inner child work and nurture the little one. In most cases, all your inner child needs is to feel safe.
