My Whole Team QUIT!
& How To Let Go
I’ve been thinking a lot about the choice to let go of something. Hope, people I care about, how I want things to be…
SOMETIMES LETTING GO SEEMS EASY
I recently took Facebook off of my phone and Ipad. I rarely go on to check it, just to post and share.
This didn’t feel that hard to let go. I notice an urge to go back and check it sometimes, but generally I just don’t, it’s that simple. If I can survive the urge I stay with letting go.
SOMETIMES IT FEELS HARD BUT GETS EASIER
Recently my amazing assistant told me she wasn’t happy. At first, I tried to figure out a way to get her to stay but I don’t want someone to work for me if they aren’t happy. So we agreed to give it the weekend.
Over the weekend I stayed up SUPER LATE working really hard out of fear and panic. But I eventually saw what I was doing. I relaxed. I accepted. I let go.
So on Monday when my other assistant said she was quitting too it was fine. I felt some fear and I accepted it. I ended up talking to the last remaining member of my team on Wednesday of that week and we got clear it was time for him to move on as well.
I let them go. I was scared. I was sad. But it just felt like what wanted to happen. I relaxed and let go.
SOMETIMES IT FEELS IMPOSSIBLE
There are a few things in my life I continuously struggle to let go.
