Ep. 52 How To Actually Let Go (since we aren't in a Disney movie)
from The Unlock Lab · host Tosca DiMatteo
Letting go isn’t just about releasing what holds us back, it’s about making space for what we truly want. In this episode, I share what it really takes to let go, because spoiler alert: it’s not as easy as motivational memes makes it seem. We’re not in a Disney movie, and there’s no magical three step process. But there are real, tangible tools including somatic body work, journaling, movement, and even shifting our actions, that can help us release old patterns and step into a new version of ourselves. From relationship dynamics to breaking free from limiting beliefs, I share my personal experiences and the messy, real life process of letting go. This one’s for anyone who’s ready to stop white knuckling life so you can move forward with more ease.Episode Highlights:🦉The truth about letting go, it’s not a one and done deal, but an ongoing process that evolves with you.🦉How your body holds onto emotions and why physical movement, energy work, and somatic healing can be game changers.🦉A simple but powerful shift, instead of just trying with all your might to release something.Quotables:[00:04:58]"Your process and needs for letting go will likely evolve over time. What you may have needed the last time you were in a certain situation is different than maybe what you need now because you're constantly evolving and you may need different tools to access for letting go of different situations."[00:14:24]"The intention of letting things go is really powerful. And then the action that you take to support that intention. You can play with it, have fun with it and experiment with it."[00:23:46]"What's in our control is doing the best we can to take the actions to change our own life. because it is our choice, nobody else's choice. We are not going to get rescued by a knight in shining armor. We have got to do it for ourselves."Tosca’s Links and Resources:Sign up for Tosca's Newsletter: https://toscadimatteo.com/optin/Tosca’s WebsiteGet in Touch with ToscaLinkedInInstagramGiving Flowers To:Theme music by: Adrian DiMatteoPodcast edited by: Landis Podcast Editing
