Learning to Let Go, Flow, and Choose Peace
There comes a point in life where you stop chasing, stop controlling, and simply start flowing. I am at that point now. I call it my season of calm.
After years of trying to fix what wasnāt mine to fix, of worrying about things I could not control, and carrying burdens that werenāt mine to carry, I have finally learned to release. I pray, I breathe, I surrenderāand I let things go.
Letting Go of What Is Not Meant for Me
Letting go does not mean I do not care. It means I care enough about my peace to stop clinging to what hurts me, confuses me, or drains me. I have finally come to understand:
āWhat is meant for me will never miss me, and what misses me was never meant for me.ā
Itās a beautiful and liberating truth. I donāt fight the current anymore. I release, and I trust the process.
āNot My Monkeys. Not My Circus.ā
This little saying has become my personal mantra. Every time someone tries to drag me into their drama, every time chaos
comes knockingāI whisper it:
āNot my monkeys. Not my circus.ā And instantly, Iām reminded that I donāt have to attend every argument Iām invited to, or solve every problem placed before me.
No More Drama, No More Shenanigans
Iāve drawn a firm line between what I can handle and what I should no longer tolerate. I refuse to let the emotional clutter of others derail my peace. I am not interested in being anyone’s emotional punching bag, fixer, or drama sponge.
This is not selfishness.
It is self-love.
It is wisdom earned through experience, heartbreak, disappointment, and growth.
Choosing Peace and Happiness
These days, I choose peace like it’s my full-time job. I protect my space. I protect my energy. I protect my joy.
āPeace is not the absence of chaos, but the presence of clarity and the ability to say, āI will not let this disrupt me.āā
I wake up every day with a prayer in my heart and gratitude on my lips. I no longer wish for more thingsāI wish for more peace, more simplicity, and more authentic joy.
š A Closing Affirmation:
I release what I cannot control. I let go of what is not mine. I embrace peace. This is my season of calm.
