How do we let go & trust within the chaos going on around us? There’s this idea that we can only control how we respond to what happens to us rather than controlling what happens around us, but it can be a challenge to accept this truth and learn how to let go and really surrender. As we all adjust to this new normal after the past few years, it’s important for us to take the time to step back from the busyness of life and really ask ourselves if we are showing up as the best version of ourselves for those around us. In today’s blog & podcast episode, I am sharing 7 ways that I deepen my trust so that I can extend that trust to those around me & begin to feel at peace with the world around me as I continually learn, grow, and show up as my best self.
How to Trust & Let Go of Control During Times of Chaos
As a mother of six, with 4 of them in adolescence, I’m beginning to discover how I can deepen my trust right now in this stage of life. As I deepen my trust, I am able to extend that trust to those around me & really foster beautiful, growth-centered relationships that have a positive impact on the world around me. Here are 7 ways I deepen my trust as I continually grow & process all of the changes that happen in life.
#1 Tune in to the love that’s all around me.
#2 Know my heart and mind are in the right place.
#3 Release what I cannot hold.
#4 Take time to connect with nature, even during the cold winter months.
#5 Deepen my gratitude and stay consistent in my daily gratitude practice.
#6 Create boundaries around my thoughts & bring awareness to the thought patterns I can change for the better without judging myself for having them in the first place.
#7 Listen to my gut.
By creating structure in life, I have the ability to carve out the time & space to ebb and flow through the strong emotions we are all experiencing right now & release the strong control I want to have while learning to trust again. Tune in to the podcast episode below to dive deeper on the topic of growing in trust & learning to surrender to the beautiful process of personal growth.
