How to Know if it's Time to Let it Go

Text Emily!

What do you do when you run out of steam? 

When you’ve tried and tried and tried to make something work, you’ve given it consistency, a considerable amount of time, energy, and effort, and it’s just NOT sticking!? 

What do you do when you’re just ready to move on, end an era, and let something GO? 

In this episode, we’re going to discuss exactly that! We often get excited and discuss new ideas, starting things, what’s next, what’s next, but we don’t always talk about the things we leave behind, the things we burn down along the way. 

So, buckle ye' olde seatbelt, THAT’s where we’re headed in this episode! 

In this episode: 

  • How the cycles of life inspire us to let go 
  • What era are you in? 
  • How do you know it's time to let something go? 
  • What are some ways to reinvigorate the steam? 
  • Things to try before you burn it down 
  • ROI isn't always financial 
  • 3 Rituals for letting go 
  • And more!

Questions for You to Consider: 

  1. Time - have you given it enough time, attention, and energy? Have you been consistent with your efforts with it?  
  2. Do you simply need to do it differently and mix it up?  
  3. Do you need professional help? A consultant? An additional set of ideas and eyeballs? Who can you bring in to help? 
  4. Do you have unrealistic expectations and goals? Did you expect something to go a different way but it wasssss, admittedly, a little far-fetched? Was it even YOUR vision to begin with? What did you WANT this thing to do for you when you started it? Is it still doing that? Was it ever? 
  5. Pausing - How does a break feel? Do you just need a break or a slow down to find energy and creativity and make space for it to breathe? 
  6. Do you need to change something ELSE in your life to open up time, space, or energy? Are you focusing on the wrong thing as the problem, and ignoring the real problem?
  7. Is it aligned with your current direction - your current ERA? Are this and you going in the same direction? Growing together or growing apart?
