You probably think that you’re ugly, or that you’re a failure, or that you deserve all the negative things that has happened to you. You may be on the people who talk bad about themselves. Letting go may be extremely difficult for you especially if you have low self-worth. This proves that change is always uncomfortable at first. One study found out that there is a certain level of discomfort a person can tolerate before acknowledging the need for change. There are many psychological research that suggests resistance to change. Sometimes it feels easier to stay put and not take the chance thus, leaving you to be resistant to change. It forces you to change and face uncertainty and this means leaving behind what is usual and comfortable for you. Most people understand this as getting rid of that ‘thing’ resulting to a change in who you are. Things that have become a part of yourself – of what makes you who you are today.
Letting go is hard because it means that you need to free yourself from some aspects of your past. Here are several reasons why letting go and moving on is hard to do.
Why is letting go so hard to do? I believe you have asked yourself this question at least once in your life and ended up frustrated because you can’t force yourself to do it even if you wanted to. A lot of people ask me this question: why is it so hard to let go and move on? For example, there’s this one friend of mine that has been through a lot of heartbreaks in life and whenever we got a chance to meet, letting go and moving on is usually, if not always, the topic we talk about.
