Is there something you’re still holding onto—not because it energizes you now, but because it used to mean something?
“Many clients of mine come to me with a genuine and deep desire to let go but often have no idea how to go about it, as their ‘letting go muscle’ is completely atrophied. Often all that is needed is simply for the person to give himself or herself permission to let go.”
— Javier Regueiro1
Sometimes, we cling to old goals, titles, or creative paths out of loyalty, pride, or habit. We tell ourselves we should finish what we started. But deep down, something’s shifted.
What if that stuck feeling isn’t failure—but a quiet invitation to change direction?
Creative breakthroughs often begin not with more effort, but with letting go. Releasing ego. Releasing expectations. Making space for what actually fits now—not what once did.
When one path feels blocked, it’s worth asking: Is this the end of the road… or just the start of a better one?
You’re allowed to pivot. You’re allowed to grow.
Javier Regueiro is a Swiss-born spiritual teacher and author, known for his work with plant medicine and emotional healing. The quote is from Ayahuasca: Soul Medicine of the Amazon Jungle (2014), where he explores the psychological and spiritual dimensions of surrender and transformation. His reflections often blur the line between therapeutic insight and spiritual practice—which makes them especially relevant when the “letting go” isn’t just practical, but existential.
