The Art of Letting Go

Your mind should be your safe zone, not the noisiest place in the world. Restore your inner peace.
If you are always on edge and unable to relax, this book is for you. Choose the pace that you want to live life at — you DO have a choice.
Control your thoughts; control your life; control your happiness.
The Art of Letting Go is all about organizing the mess in your mind. It's about how to stop focusing on the past that is over, or the future that may never occur, and being present in the situations that you can actually have agency in. It's about how to rewire the anxious connections in your brain, and switch your mental programming and beliefs. It's about understanding that our brains are made for 10,000 BC, and that you can afford to let your guard down.
It's about trusting that things will be okay.
How to control your self-talk and transform your internal worldview.
Nick Trenton grew up in rural Illinois and is quite literally a farm boy. His best friend growing up was his trusty companion Leonard the dachshund. RIP Leonard. Eventually, he made it off the farm and obtained a BS in Economics, followed by an MA in Behavioral Psychology.

    The dichotomy of control is a central concept in Stoic philosophy that emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between things that are within one’s control and things that are beyond one’s control.
  • Emily Popehas quoted12 hours ago
    Sarah can also try using language that reflects a third-person perspective, just like John in the previous case. For example, instead of saying "I am so angry right now," she can say "Sarah is feeling angry." This simple change in language can help create mental distance between herself and her feelings, allowing her to observe the situation more objectively.

    From this perspective, Sarah is able to see that her partner is also feeling hurt and upset, and that both of them are contributing to the conflict. She is able to suspend some of her immediate emotional reactions and take a more objective view of the situation. This allows her to consider her behavior and communication more carefully, and to make more deliberate choices that can help de-escalate the conflict and move toward resolution.
