Tired of Overthinking and Overdoing? Try This Gentle Surrender Practice

For most of my life, I believed that if I just tried hard enough, I could make everything work.
I could fix the money.
I could make a doomed relationship work.
I could keep pushing even when my mind and body were screaming for rest.

The world rewards effort, right? So I gave it everything. So. Much. Effort.

But the more I tried to control — the more I lost my connection to trust.
Trust in myself.
Trust in others.
Trust that anything good could happen unless I forced it into being.

I didn’t know how to let go.
Letting go felt like giving up.
Surrender felt like failure.

But here’s what I’ve learned:
Surrender is not weakness.
It’s the bravest, most rebellious thing I’ve ever done.

It’s what led me to create Surrender & Flow — a 30-day journal that helps you gently practice what letting go really means (and what it doesn’t).

Each day offers:

  • A grounding prompt to explore what you're holding onto

  • A simple “flow practice” to release the need to grip so tightly

  • A safe space to soften, even just for a moment

This isn’t about spiritual bypassing or pretending everything’s okay.
It’s about slowly untangling from the fear that if you stop forcing, everything will fall apart.

If you’re tired of controlling, fixing, and managing everything on your own —
this might be your quiet entry point into something softer.

It’s not about giving up.
It’s about giving in to the rhythm already holding yo
u.
