Sometimes the biggest obstacle to happiness is letting go: letting go of our burdens; our pain; our betrayals; and anything that no longer serves us. Holding on to pain can seemingly give us comfort and safety in the short-term; but in the long-term it will lead to bitterness, negativity and despair.

Sometimes we hold onto heartache because it compensates for another need in our life. When we are able to meet that other need in a healthy, compassionate way, we give ourselves the means to be able to let go of our hurts.

Understanding what it is that is blocking our ability to let go can be the first step towards surrendering and rebuilding.

Take today’s assessment and find out what is the need that is preventing you from letting go. You’ll also get some practical advice on how to meet that need; so that you can start honouring yourself the way you deserve today.
