5 tips on how to let go, according to Maxene Magalona

Actress and yoga teacher Maxene Magalona shared some advice on letting go to make one’s life easier to live.

First, Magalona explained that people can train themselves to let go “by not sweating the small stuff.”

“Everyday, choose peace over pain by letting things go like when someone cuts you off in traffic or when a coworker is late to a meeting. Letting the small things go can help you learn how to let the big things go too,” she said via her Instagram page last Friday, Sept. 16.

Next, she talked about how important it is to “meditate daily to process your emotions” and to “let go of all stories and narratives and just allow yourself to feel all your emotions to be able to let them go.”

“The only way to release emotions is by feeling them,” she stressed.

Third, to get hold of one’s self after losing someone, Magalona stressed the importance of writing one’s thoughts in a journal “as a way of releasing them properly.”

“Overthinking can lead to stress and anxiety. Release excess energy by letting go of unhelpful and unhealthy thoughts,” she said.

Fourth, she stated that one more important thing in letting go is to “lift everything to God in prayer.”

“Allow the Holy Spirit to transform your heart and change your toxic traits and habits. Let go of yourself completely by submitting and surrendering yourself to God,” she said.

Finally, she thinks that one has to choose the soul over ego.

“Your ego loves to attach to selfish desires while your soul works on choosing what’s best for the greater good of all beings,” she explained. “When you choose your soul, you are choosing God.” JB
