Let it Go

Let it Go

Do I need to copyright that title? Everyone and his brother are humming it, covering it, and talking about it. It’s the song from the animated movie Frozen.

For an entire week, we follow our plans, stick to our calendars, and show up when and where we’re supposed to. If it’s all working, we have an expectation about how stressful it might be. We can expect things to take a reasonable amount of time. We expect that they’ll happen as planned.

And then we might have an unexpected call. Or an upsetting email. Or news about someone we care about that’s worrisome. And our tight and logical schedules seem almost impossible. The stress mounts. We lose sleep. We’re trying to solve, fix, change and neutralize.

My wise son had the answer. If you can do something about it, do it. If you can’t, let it go. Don’t get stressed or sick or worse. Take a deep breath and let it go.
