Break Free from Ties: Time to Let It Go-Fly High!

Hey Love, bring on your sunny glow!… This article, “Break Free from Ties: Time to Let It Go-Fly High!” was originally published on 03/18/24 and has been updated.

Breaking free isn’t always easy. In fact, it can feel downright impossible some days. But if you’ve ever caught yourself wondering why certain thoughts or memories just won’t leave you alone—know this: you’re not the only one. We all carry things. The question is, do those things still serve us?

And if you’ve ever asked yourself whether letting go would even help… maybe that alone is your answer.

Have you ever truly considered what it would mean to break free from those lingering ties? Maybe the time has come to gently let it go.

Maybe it’s time to loosen the grip and let it go.

Feel It Fully, Then FREE It

All of us have thoughts that linger—about someone, something, or even a version of ourselves we used to be. They show up uninvited, repeating like background music we didn’t ask for. Are they conscious or buried deep in the subconscious? I can’t say for sure—but either way, they’re there. And they tend to come from past regrets, almost moments, what-ifs, or unspoken words.

But what if those thoughts weren’t meant to haunt us, but to guide us?

What if regret could be a teacher instead of a trap?

I read an article by Patia Braithwaite on SELF titled “9 Small Ways to Let Go of Regret (Even When It’s Hard),” and it really stuck with me. The suggestions were simple and doable, but it was the sentence “Regret can be helpful” that made me pause. It’s true.

Regret is part of life—it’s how we relate to choices we’ve made. But it doesn’t have to weigh us down. Use it. Learn from it. Let it teach you what matters. Then, free it.

Make Room—FREE Up Space for Peace

If something in your thoughts or heart is not supporting you, maybe it’s time to clear space. Because the truth is, you deserve space to breathe. To rest. To dream about what’s ahead without being pulled backward.

Clearing mental space is easier said than done—we all know that. But that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. Sometimes, we’re not even held back by what happened—we’re held back by our idea of how life was supposed to unfold.

The narrative in your mind may say you failed, or missed your chance. But what if that so-called failure redirected you to something more aligned with your truth?

Freeing up mental space is one of the kindest things you can do for yourself. It makes room for new ideas, better energy, stronger confidence. And when we’re not crowded by thoughts of what could have been, we can finally see what still could be.

FREE to Rise, FREE to Move On

Sometimes, it’s not the actual failure that haunts us—but the image we had of what life should have looked like. Sound familiar? We get attached to a version of life we pictured in our heads. And when that doesn’t pan out, it can feel like a loss.

But here’s the thing: if everything truly does happen for a reason, then maybe the missteps and missed opportunities were redirections—not dead ends.

Maybe regret is just a signpost, showing us where we were meant to pivot.

I’ve had to face my own shadows, my own disappointments. It’s never fun. But when we stop resisting what already happened and begin to accept it, we become free to rise above it. We find a little more strength, a little more clarity, and a whole lot of peace.

Letting go doesn’t erase the past—it honors it. It says, “Yes, that happened—and I’m still here.” And even if it still hurts sometimes, what’s ahead is often more beautiful than we imagined.

So here’s your moment. Ask yourself gently: What’s holding you back? What thought, memory, or idea is tying you down? Name it. Then let it go.

“Dare to live by letting go.” —Tom Althouse

Break FREE from the weight of what was.
Let yourself fly toward what could be.
You deserve that freedom.

You’ll thank yourself later.
