We can be tenacious when it comes to needing something to be a certain way, believing someone or a situation needs to change, or perhaps feeling we "should" be or do something in particular.  The "shoulds" can be a signal that we might be swimming upstream,  resisting.  Exploring how it might feel to let go is a useful practice in honing the ability to get perspective.   If we can let go a bit it will help not only to reduce the stress created by our own tight grip, but perhaps to decide just how much holding on really matters.
