Loosen Up!

In golf they teach you to hold your grip on your club loose. It is all about the swing. If you stress too much on your grip you will not hit the ball or the ball will fly in a direction you did not want in the first place. Same when you learn to ride a bike. If you are sitting too tight on it, it will be more difficult to learn. So, loosen the grip.

Also in your life. Loosen your grip. On material things, ego, what you say, your emotions, relationships…

Once you start holding on to everything in life, in time it will be more difficult to loosen the grip. Sometimes people will be unable to do it.

Most of us know the theory, but in practice, it is difficult to not get attached to others, to material things, to life itself. One of the most important lessons in life is being able to let go. First step is loosening the grip. 

There will always be bad days in our lives. But as long as we understand that those are just moments, that we can choose to let it all be a bit looser, we will feel more free, more at ease. “Tomorrow is another day… a new beginning” Be confident. Do not hold on to those bad days. They will pass. Loosen the grip on your negative thoughts. Loosen your grip on the past. Holding on causes more damage.

Same with relationships. If you are holding on too tight, chances are you are creating a stressful relationship instead of a loving one. Loosen the grip.

There is a funny saying: “Do not take life too seriously, you are going to die anyway.” Ask yourself, knowing you “are going to die anyway”, why should I hold on to negativity, anxiety and fear?

Start today, step by step, loosen your grip!
