Today is a great day to release!
What are you letting go of today? Stress, worry, a bad relationship, unhealthy habits? Has it been long overdue?
As we step into the Fall season—a season of transformation—we can take inspiration from nature. The leaves change color and fall, reminding us that letting go is part of growth. Science even explains that as the wind blows, it weakens the leaf’s connection to the branch, and the leaf falls away. Through that release, the tree conserves energy and prepares for renewal.
In the same way, release allows us to grow. Let go of what no longer serves you—the people, thoughts, or habits that weigh you down and prevent you from moving forward. A shift in mindset is essential if we want to level up in life. Releasing is not just about letting go—it’s about finding peace.
Why is this so important? Because when we don’t release, the same patterns repeat: unhealthy relationships, health issues, constant procrastination, arguments, or unachieved goals. Sometimes it’s as simple as holding on to habits we know aren’t helping. Deep down, you already know what it’s time to release.
Be courageous enough to acknowledge it—and let it go.
Ways to Release
Here are some practices you can try to support your release journey:
- Journal:
Write down your feelings, thoughts, and what you want to release. Personally, I like to write it down, then take it outside and burn the paper—it’s symbolic and freeing. - Spend time in nature:
Go for a walk, sit quietly under the trees, or be near water. Nature has a way of soothing us and helping us breathe more deeply. - Move your body:
Dance in your living room, hit the gym, or try yoga. Physical movement helps release built-up energy and leaves you feeling refreshed. - Scream it out:
Sometimes nothing works better than letting out a loud scream in a safe space. It’s simple, but it can release so much tension. - Break it (safely!):
If you need something physical, look into a local Rage Room. These are designed spaces where you can safely break items as a form of stress relief. If you try this, be sure to wear protective gear like goggles.
These are just a few options I’ve tried—or considered. The key is to find what works for you. Whatever method you choose, let it help you release the old so you can move forward refreshed, open, and ready for something new.
