Letting go of "shoulds" and embracing the unknown

Sometimes you have to embrace the unknown, so practicing letting go and embracing the experience is a vital skill.

It’s so easy to feel overwhelmed by the things you “should” do. Maybe it feels productive - whatever you should be doing, yet it can easily and unintentionally contribute to your own frustration, anxiety, and stuckness.

The practice of letting go of your “shoulds” – and embracing what is still unknown - is a vital practice, helping you to see your choices might be hiding, so you can face the unknown even if it’s with just a little more grace and ease.

Here's a short 8-minute guided meditation with relaxing soundscape and images to help you practice letting go of your "shoulds."

A Practice for Embracing Unknowns

Or, if all you have time for now is a poem: here's a beautiful one by April Green.

Let it go

then see what kind of magic

returns in its place.

Because,

I promise that

what’s for you

will never reach you

while you’re clinging

to something else.
