How to regain your personal freedom in stressful relationships

Acceptance of letting go

If you can accept who you are around a particular person and see that person for who they really are, you will also learn to accept that not everything works out the way you planned. You will be able to recognize your role in the situation and improve your relationship. You will also accept and feel more appreciation for the person's role in your life.

Letting go without fear of the results

When you stop placing expectations on others, you avoid disappointment. You cannot force the outcome you want, especially when it involves another person. When expectations are not met, respond accordingly. Over time, everything will sort itself out or resolve naturally, allowing you to willingly let go.

You have the key to letting go

Only you can get out of a bad relationship. You decide what works and what doesn't, so you have the power to let go. At the same time, you have no control over others. You can take responsibility for your actions, but you can't try to change someone to make their actions fit your needs. This doesn't work. Free yourself from your need to please or force others to please you and you will find it liberating. You will stop caring about what others think of you and start focusing on who you want to be. Who you really are.

Letting go of mistakes

We all have the potential to say the wrong things at the wrong time. We misunderstand situations or do something that just doesn't work out as planned. Don't dwell on it. Laugh about it and make others laugh. It's over and you can't change it, and it's not the end of the world. You will be more relaxed, take yourself less seriously and enjoy life more.

Letting go of fear

Stop letting fear take hold of you. Get out of your comfort zone so you don't live in a "what if" dilemma. Part of letting go of fear is expressing yourself. Say what you actually feel so you don't say what needs to be said. Communication reduces emotional tension and leads to better relationships. Why? Because you will feel better about yourself.

It doesn't matter if you decide to let them go, to stay in the relationship but let go of the control they have over you, or if they let go of you. Regardless of why you let go, it will result in negative emotions that cannot be ignored. Feel hurt and sad because that is part of the grieving process. It allows you to move forward. Letting go of resentment allows you to forgive, which is the most important step of letting go.

These steps will help you maintain a stronger sense of self so you can use the experience to grow. You will stop the “what ifs,” stop wishing for things from the past, and have a brighter future.
