Sometimes the hardest things to let go of are the things we already know we need to release.
A relationship. A disappointment. A mistake. An expectation. An old version of ourselves. We know it’s time to move forward, but knowing and letting go are two very different things.In this episode of Dr. Davina’s Dots, join me to reflect, breathe, and enjoy an hour of thoughtful reflection and relaxing jazz.

Your time to slow down, relax, and reflect starts right here, right now, on Dr. Davinas Dots.
[00:00:43] Holding on, even when you know it's time to let go. Have you ever noticed how you can know something, but you're still not ready to act on it? You know it's time. You know it's not working. You know it's weighing you down. But you're still holding on. You know it's not helping. And you can feel the weight and pressure holding you back. But you can't quite bring yourself to let it go.
[00:01:06] What is it that you're still holding, even though you know it's time to release it? You're listening to Dr. Davinas Dots. Sit back, relax, and enjoy. I'll be right back.

[00:29:06] Why letting go feels so hard. Why is it so hard to let go of something we already know isn't for us anymore? Maybe it's about letting go of what we hoped it would be. The expectations. The version of life we imagined. The way we thought it would turn out. And letting go can feel like losing something, even if we never really had it. Maybe we hold on because it feels safer than the unknown. But what if holding on is holding you back?
[00:29:35] You are listening to Dr. Davinas Dots. Sit back, relax, and enjoy.

[00:48:06] You are listening to Dr. Davinas Dots. Sit back, relax, and enjoy. Opening your hands just a little. What if you just loosened your grip a little? Just enough to acknowledge it. Just enough to be honest with yourself about it. Just enough to say, I don't have to carry this anymore if I don't want to. Maybe that's where it starts. Because sometimes, you've been holding it for so long,
[00:48:35] it's hard to let it go. If you've been holding on and it's hard to let go, my books offer simple reminders and gentle encouragement to help you shift your perspective and move forward.
