Live and Let Go: 4 Easy Ways to Release Negative Emotions
Here Are 4 Useful Tips for How to Let Things Go Effectively:
1. Take Inventory
Before you can learn how to let things go, you have to figure out what you’re holding onto.
Take inventory of every single thing you are currently carrying. Really take time to unpack this.
Try to write 50 of them, or even 100! For example, thoughts about an ex, stress from work, that unfinished book you want to complete, etc.
2. Ceremoniously Release It
After you’ve written it all down, take some time and create a ritual to release it.
This could mean burning it (please use a fire-safe receptical and do this with care). This could also mean lighting some sage or palo santo and cleansing a space and then dropping into a meditation where you are releasing it completely from your life.

3. Visualize Letting It Go
Visualization, when combined with the meditation from above, is one of the most potent practices. Truly see yourself letting it go.
Stand on top of that mountain and throw all of your stresses, unneeded thoughts, and emotions that you are ready to release right OFF.
How light do you feel now? See yourself fully free of that backpack, lighter, more open-hearted, more expansive, and more FREE.

4. Use Your Breath
If you’re unfamiliar with breathwork, that’s okay. I gotchu. 
Take some time, in a sacred space and consciously breathe.
Practice circular breathing: Inhale through your mouth for three seconds flowing fluidly into an exhale through your mouth for three seconds. Repeat for 50 to 100 cycles of breath (one cycle being a full inhale and exhale).
After you complete this practice, just sit there in stillness and feel the peace within that you’ve created. Let it envelop you. Feel it. If emotions come up, let them flow.
