Let them go #ScienceSays #PsychologyFacts #PsychologyTok #ScienceFacts #Neuroscience

Science says there's actually power in letting something or someone go and this is the biggest thing that humans struggle with and it's so interesting how science actually plays a hand in this thing that's really known as a spiritual notion of letting things go and almost admitting defeat but not in a way that you just don't care and you don't want to try anymore but to the fact that you can actually make progress in life if you let things go because listen to this research on emotional acceptance has found that people who are better at accepting difficult thoughts and feelings tend to have better psychological well-being this radical acceptance of what is can really be the thing that stops us from really spiraling and stops us from constantly blaming ourselves and being super critical in a non progressive way because if you are critical once and you learn the lesson or maybe twice and you learn the lesson and you can move on from it that's fine but a lot of us just constantly blame ourselves and spiral mentally on the situation or on a person and we can't even change the outcome we're just heavily emotionally attached to it so that's not actually helpful to our progress to our growth in any way. If you're constantly analysing a situation in like what you could have done differently and you're not really learning the lesson anymore it's actually becoming negative on your mental health on your well-being on yourself worth and you're constantly attached to this thing that happened or maybe a person that's not right for you or maybe a job that's not right for your friendship a family relationship a romantic relationship which sometimes can be the most difficult of all you're not actually helping yourself by having that attachment by letting go of that attachment is when you can genuinely start to make progress in your life letting go doesn't mean you don't care anymore about yourself or you know that thing that happened until that person letting go means that you stop allowing something that you can't control from consuming all of your precious attention and focus you start putting that attention and focus on your future on things that you can control on something that you can start today and day and day out build it up on people that you can invest in and you don't constantly keep yourself in this emotional loop of not letting something or someone go
