Letting go is the action part of faith. And in that action part of faith, you find freedom. You find release in letting go of things.
Picture yourself in a tug-of-war, holding on tight to a rope, feeling the tension in your muscles. Now, imagine the relief when you finally let go. That's the kind of release Lisa from '2 Sober Chicks' talks about in this episode. Drawing inspiration from Melody Beattie's reading 'Letting Go', Lisa dives into the complexities and ironies of this seemingly simple act.
She shares personal anecdotes, like how her sponsors often told her to 'let go and let God', and her initial resistance to such advice. Lisa doesn’t just talk the talk; she invites listeners to engage in a physical exercise to truly feel the concept of letting go. Grab a towel or rope, hold it with someone else, and pull. Feel the strain? Now, let go and notice the instant relief.
This exercise isn't just about physical tension; it mirrors the emotional and mental release that comes with letting go. One of the highlights is Lisa's recounting of a recent text from a sponsee asking if she was mad at her. This moment turned into a lesson on doing a 10th step, checking if her side of the street was clean, and teaching her sponsee about self-reflection and honesty.
Lisa emphasizes that letting go is an act of faith, a leap into trusting that things will work out as they should. She concludes with a powerful meditation from Beattie's reading: 'For today, I will relax. I will let go of that which is upsetting me the most.
I will trust that by letting go, I have started the wheels in motion for things to work out in the best possible way.'
Tune in to hear Lisa's heartfelt reflections and gain practical insights into embracing the freedom that comes with letting go. Whether you're struggling to release old habits or seeking peace in your recovery journey, this episode offers valuable lessons and encouragement.
