    "Let it go". The popular song by Idina Menzel, in the Disney movie "Frozen" has had kids and families belting out the phrase "let it go" for two years now. It's a wonderful saying but how do you put it into practice in your own life? How do you truly "let it go"?  

    We would all be better off if we could let go of the things that weigh us down… the anger, the hurt, the disappointment, the embarrassment, the wanting of one thing and being given another. To truly let go of the emotions that are holding you back from living the happy, free and spirited life you were meant to, takes some practice. 

     A good step towards "letting it go" is to first bring your awareness to how often you are giving your focus to the topic that is causing you the feeling of unhappiness. How often do you tell the story of why you are angry or disappointed? How often are you blameful of others? How often do you list the things that are not working well for you? The more you give focus on your struggle the larger your struggle becomes. To be able to "let go" and release what is holding you back,  it is so very important to clear your mind of the thoughts that bind you and replace your thoughts and your focus on the things and the people in your life that bring a smile to your face and help you to feel good. 

    Another key factor to letting go is the realization that nothing is personal. Everyone has their own story. What may seem like a personal attack or judgment towards you is often someone reacting from their own fears. Being kind towards another even when they are not kind toward you may not be instinct for most people, but when you can bring yourself to the place of being a well wisher to all others, then you know you are truly in a free and  "let it go" state of being. Chances are if you knew the internal fears and struggles someone is dealing with, you would let go of the anger or hurt you are feeling much faster and wish them healing. 

    Also when desiring a free and happy life with ease of letting go, it is necessary to believe that you are worthy of happiness. You deserve the feeling of release and freedom and all the good that follows from letting go. Be kind to yourself. Love yourself. Accept that you are loved and that your life was meant to be a happy one and.."let it go…let it go"
