News for the Heart talks with Tom Campbell on From Giving Up to BEing Powerful. We began by discussing the difference between Letting Go and Giving Up, and from Powerless and Overwhelmed.

The danger of Giving Up is that it leads to depression. This is a difficult energy to emerge from as it feels so overwhelming and you feel powerless to make changes.

Depression is all consuming and it prohibits us from Growing Up. We are to learn to Let GO. If we feel depressed and overwhelmed we are stuck and not moving forward.

We all need to feel a purpose that we can fulfill. Tom offered many examples that are relevant to what we feel overwhelmed about in relationships. Like picking up after ourselves, doing the dishes, as these are relatable references for where we are in our consciousness and our growth. If we hold onto specifics in our relationships, whether at home or at work, we are feeling powerless or overwhelmed.

Once we can truly accept where we are and make efforts to fix ourselves instead of another, we are on the journey to Grow Up. However, if we just act like we are doing the dishes or picking up after someone and still hold anger, then we aren’t truly letting go.

The most important part of this is that we all work on ourselves to Let Go of our fears. If we have no fears, then everything else that happens doesn’t impact our well-being. We are leading with our Heart and choosing to Grow Up.
