Learning to accept and let go is really important. There’s only so much you can control in life, so you’ll need to get really comfortable with the things outside of your control.
In this article, I share my top tips on how to let go of trying to control the uncontrollable.
Here Are My Top Tips To Reduce Stress And Practice Letting Go
1. Turn Your Worry Into Positive Action
You can’t always control the outcome of a situation, but you can control how you act and how you feel.
Whatever you fear, act in alignment with how you’d hope the situation to turn out. As opposed to focusing on the possible negative outcome.
2. Practice Love, Joy, And Gratitude
Where your focus goes, energy flows. Try to practice mindfulness, and aim to live in the present moment whenever you can. Journal and aim to focus on what you are grateful for so that you can fill your heart with feelings of joy and love, instead of fear.
3. Find Acceptance
Acceptance is a huge part of letting go. Finding acceptance and closure helps you to release and let go of any worry, stress, or anxiety that doesn’t serve you.

6. Positive Affirmations
Positive affirmations are a really great tool to help overcome unwanted thoughts, negative thoughts, and negative emotions. Positive affirmations are a handy stress management tool that you can use to focus on letting go.
I like to write positive affirmations down in my journal so I always have some good ones to hand when I need them.
