Living carefree can make all the difference in your life and your well-being. But it’s easier said than done. Most of us aren’t just born knowing how to be free spirits. We have to learn it. More importantly, we have to unlearn all the ideas that have been placed in our minds since infancy.
These limiting beliefs will prevent you from fully living the life you were always meant to live.
Living Carefree and in Peace
Carefree. How do you feel when you hear that word? Do you feel carefree? Does it give you comfort to think about being carefree, or do you feel stressed, worried, or concerned?
Do you struggle to remember the last time you really felt carefree? It happens to all of us at some time and to some degree. Life is all about attachments. We form attachments to people, to things, to the memories of our experiences.
And then we just go through life collecting these experiences and trinkets that remind us of them. We form attachments to them.
Furthermore, we attach ourselves to money and to time. And sometimes to people who are not good for us or things that are not good for us.
All of these attachments get in the way of living a carefree life. And the stress and the worry get in the way of us feeling carefree. The drama blocks our path to feeling carefree.
Sometimes that’s the hardest way to be, especially when it feels like life is giving you so many things to worry about.
How can you be carefree when there are bills to pay?
What does it take to be carefree when there is work to do?
How can you be carefree when there is so much hurt in the world?
I hear you. And I know exactly what you’re going through because I have been there. Time and time again, I have been in that exact position. So, what do you do?
Let go.
You have to let go of those attachments. You have to let go of all of those things that really don’t matter. It’s important to let go of the hurt and the pain, the bad memories, the old stories you tell yourself, and the baggage you carry over from your childhood or your past relationships.
Sometimes you need to literally let go of the junk in your house. Declutter. Clear out. Life isn’t about how much stuff you can collect.
Letting Go of Worry
Letting go of worry doesn’t mean you don’t care. It just means you’re choosing to focus on what YOU have the power to change.
Let go of attachment to the outcome.
Then let go of the need to always please others.
Let go of the desire to control situations.
Learn to let go of the struggle.
