One of the most common pitfalls of anxiety is the urgent need to have everything under control. To control what is said, what is thought, what might happen, what shouldn't happen. To check a thousand times, anticipate scenarios, tense the body in case something goes wrong.

But control doesn't always relieve... often it's exhausting.
And most importantly: it is not synonymous with safety .

When anxiety arises, a part of us believes that if we have everything measured, planned, and monitored, nothing will hurt. But living like that isn't living, it's enduring. And perhaps what you really need isn't to hold on to everything… but to let go .

Letting go isn't surrendering. It's trusting. It's allowing life to flow, letting what's beyond your control simply be . It's resting in the certainty that you don't have to carry everything, solve everything, or understand everything right now.

Letting go is gentle, yet powerful. It's looking up at the sky, taking a deep breath, and telling yourself, "I don't have to control this. Today I choose to trust." Because often, peace doesn't come when you have everything in order, but when you stop trying to control the uncontrollable.

Letting go is courage. It is faith. It is liberation.

"Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."
1 Peter 5:7
