Mentally Stronger with Therapist Amy Morin

160 — The Power of Letting Go for a More Joyful Life


Listen Later

Adding more good habits to your life might give you some benefits. But if you really want to see improvements, subtracting a negative habit will provide you with the biggest boost in happiness and success.

Whether you need to let go of a toxic friendship or stop holding onto a grudge, sometimes releasing one thing from our lives is the key to positive change. Some of the things I share today are:

  • What the research says about letting go and why it's so effective
  • How letting go of control reduces anxiety and improves mental strength
  • Why it's so essential to make room for personal growth and happiness
  • Strategies for letting go of the things that are holding you back
  • The benefits you gain from letting go of counterproductive habits
