So, thank you.

Touched that the post resonated so strongly with you, Stella. It's so easy to accumulate stress whether we're piling it on ourselves or picking it up from our environment, the world, etc. I can absolutely relate to the challenge of trusting and letting go. One-hundred percent. I think there's a learning curve—it takes time to learn when to let go. I've found that I tend to hold on so tight, that almost every situation could benefit from a little letting go on my part. In terms of trusting, the things that have helped me the most have been meditation, spiritual reading, and self-reflection. I use the term "spiritual" broadly here—for me, it's anything that expands my perspective, brings me closer to consciousness, and inspires a feeling of oneness within myself and with others. Lately I've been reading The Universe Has Your Back by Gabrielle Bernstein. It's inspired me to let go, trust, love, and release fears in new ways. I wholeheartedly recommend it as it's FULL of tips for letting go, flowing, trusting, etc. xo
