Letting go of control is a form of acceptance from "summary" of Radical Acceptance by Tara Brach
When we are caught up in our desire to control everything in our lives, we are essentially fighting against reality. We are resisting the natural flow of life, trying to force things to go the way we want them to go. This constant need for control only leads to stress, anxiety, and suffering. We become so fixated on trying to manipulate every detail of our lives that we lose sight of the beauty and richness that can be found in simply accepting things as they are. Letting go of control is not about giving up or being passive. It is about acknowledging that there are certain things in life that we cannot change or control. It is about surrendering to the present moment and embracing whatever comes our way with an open heart and mind. When we release our tight grip on control, we allow ourselves to experience a sense of freedom and inner peace that can only come from accepting things as they are. Acceptance does not mean that we approve of or condone everything that happens in our lives. It simply means that we are willing to acknowledge the reality of the present moment without trying to change it. It is about making space for whatever arises, whether it is joy, sorrow, success, or failure. When we can accept the full spectrum of human experience without judgment or resistance, we open ourselves up to a deeper sense of connection and compassion for ourselves and others. By letting go of control and embracing acceptance, we can begin to cultivate a sense of trust in ourselves and in the universe. We can start to see that life has a way of unfolding exactly as it should, even if it doesn't always align with our plans or expectations. When we can surrender to this truth, we can find a sense of peace and contentment that comes from knowing that we are exactly where we are meant to be in this moment.
