How to Let Go & Start Over (4 Shifts That Will Change Your Life)

Hey everyone, welcome back to On Purpose. Today I want to start with something that may sound simple, but I think it explains why so many of us feel stuck in seasons of life we know we've outgrown. Here's the thing, most people don't struggle with starting over, they struggle with letting go. We think the hard part is beginning again, taking a risk, stepping into a new chapter. But more often than not, the real hardship comes from having to release the chapter that came before it.

Think about it, most of us already know when something in our life isn't working. We know when a relationship has become more draining than enjoyable. We know when a job no longer fulfills us. We know when we've lost excitement in a path we once thought we wanted.

The challenge isn't usually recognizing that something needs to change. The problem is that every time we get close to moving forward, attachment pulls us backward. We're attached to the years we've already invested, the identity we've already built, the story we've been telling ourselves, and the future we once imagined so clearly that it almost feels impossible to move away from. We are attached to what we hoped our current situation would become.
