Let Go statements from the ArtPrize participants:
I’m letting go of over analyzing.
I will let go of excessive internet usage.
I’m letting go of the shame of getting fired.
I’m letting go of resentment and turning to gratitude.
I’m letting go of my need to control the outcome of my life.
I need to let go of allowing other people to affect what I think.
I’m letting go of judging others because I can only change myself.
Let Go and Releasing Control
Like the next writer, I, too, struggle with perfectionism. Perfectionism’s close cousin may be control. Why not write your own Let Go letter, and like me, give up perfectionism and control?
I am letting go of my need to have a perfect family, or my need to make it “look” like I have a perfect family. I’ll stop trying to fix people or situations, as if it’s really up to me anyway!
Signed, Katherine
