B.L.I.S.S. Intensive Blog 4: Set Free What No Longer Suits You or the You That You Want to Become

The Power of Letting Go

Patricia Jo Grover, like many of us, once held onto things that no longer served her—old habits, limiting beliefs, toxic relationships, even outdated versions of herself. It wasn’t until she learned to release what was holding her back that she truly stepped into her power.

Here’s a truth we often avoid: You can’t step into the future you deserve if you’re still holding onto things that belong to your past.

We cling to old identities, routines, and relationships out of comfort and familiarity, but what if those things are the very reason we feel stuck?

This blog will help you:

  • Recognize what no longer serves you
  • Let go of limiting beliefs, toxic patterns, and old identities
  • Step into the most empowered version of yourself

By the end, you’ll feel lighter, clearer, and ready to fully embrace who you are meant to be.

Why We Hold Onto Things That No Longer Serve Us

Letting go isn’t always easy. In fact, we often cling to things that harm us simply because they feel familiar. But understanding why we struggle to let go is the first step toward freedom.

1. Fear of the Unknown

Sometimes, we hold onto people, habits, or identities because they’re comfortable, even when they’re not good for us. The unknown feels scary, so we stay where we are—even if we’re unhappy.

How to Overcome It:

  • Ask yourself, “Am I holding onto this because it’s right for me, or just because it’s familiar?”
  • Shift your mindset: Instead of fearing the unknown, see it as a new opportunity.

2. Attachment to an Old Identity

Many people hold onto a version of themselves that no longer fits. You might say:

  • “But I’ve always been this way.”
  • “This is just who I am.”
  • “People expect this from me.”

But growth requires change. You don’t have to be the person you were last year, last month, or even yesterday.

How to Overcome It:

  • Define the person you want to become. Write down the traits, habits, and mindset of your future self.
  • Release outdated labels. If you’ve been telling yourself, “I’m not good at this” or “I’m always this way,” challenge those beliefs.

3. Guilt and Obligation

Have you ever stayed in a friendship, job, or situation because you felt guilty leaving?

You might think:

  • “They’ve been in my life for so long—I can’t just walk away.”
  • “What if I disappoint them?”
  • “I don’t want to seem ungrateful.”

But staying in something that weighs you down out of guilt only keeps you from growing.

How to Overcome It:

  • Realize that you can appreciate the past while still moving forward.
  • Ask yourself, “Does this still align with the person I am becoming?”
  • Remember: Letting go isn’t selfish—it’s necessary for growth.

What Do You Need to Set Free?

If you’re unsure what’s holding you back, here are some things people often need to release:

1. Limiting Beliefs

  • “I’m not smart enough.”
  • “Success is for other people, not me.”
  • “I’ll always be stuck here.”

These beliefs aren’t facts—they’re mental blocks. And the moment you stop believing them, they lose their power.

👉 What to do:

  • Rewrite your story. Replace limiting beliefs with empowering truths.
  • Affirm your potential. Example: “I am capable of achieving anything I commit to.”

2. Toxic Relationships

Some people drain your energy, doubt your dreams, and make you feel small. If a relationship isn’t serving your growth, it may be time to walk away.

👉 What to do:

  • Set boundaries. Protect your peace and your progress.
  • Surround yourself with people who inspire and uplift you.

3. Old Habits That Keep You Stuck

  • Procrastination
  • Negative self-talk
  • Overcommitting to things that don’t align with your goals

👉 What to do:

  • Replace bad habits with positive ones. Example: Swap scrolling social media for reading something inspiring.
  • Create daily rituals that support your future self.

Try This: The "Letting Go" Reflection

Step 1: Identify What No Longer Serves You

Write down:

  • What beliefs, relationships, or habits are holding me back?
  • Why am I holding onto them?
  • How would my life change if I let them go?

Step 2: Choose One Thing to Release

Pick ONE thing you’re ready to let go of.

  • A belief? A toxic habit? A relationship that no longer aligns with you?

Step 3: Take Action

  • If it’s a belief, write a new empowering belief to replace it.
  • If it’s a person, set a boundary or distance yourself.
  • If it’s a habit, commit to changing it for the next 30 days.

The goal? To make space for the future YOU.
