October Workshop · Letting Go as a Self-Growth Tool

Published about 2 months ago • 1 min read

Many times, as we start out on our journey of self-growth, we think of the things we want to add: exercise, meditation, eating healthy, a morning routine, a productivity method.

But as we deepen, we discover that what’s often required is letting go. It’s a powerful part of what we’re doing here in Fearless Living Academy. And it’s not easy.

If we can practice letting go though … new possibilities open up. I find that incredibly powerful.

That’s why our October Fearless Living Academy workshop is called, “Letting Go as a Self-Growth Tool”.

Topics we’ll cover include:

  • What we cling to, and why — bringing awareness to what we are holding onto
  • The cost of holding on — how that can block us on our self-growth journey
  • Letting go isn’t resignation: it’s a freeing choice that creates new possibility
  • How to practice letting go — a concrete practice that will help you sit with the discomfort of releasing
  • What opens up when you release: space, lightness, possibility, and greater growth

This 90-minute workshop will include my teaching, as well as time for coaching and questions.

🗓️ Wednesday, October 7 · 10 am PDT / 1 pm EDT

Join Fearless Living Academy to participate in this live session and explore a practice of letting go that can create more space, lightness, and possibility in your self-growth journey.

with gratitude,
Leo

No one likes to be uncomfortable — comfort is lovely, right? But as you probably know, our biggest growth can come if we let ourselves go into the discomfort of uncertainty and stumbling. Habit change is a prime example: if you want to change your habits, you have to be willing to feel some discomfort. It’s a part of change and growth. The same can be said of doing meaningful work, of putting our creations out into the world, of becoming a new version of ourselves. But we resist the...

One of the biggest successes of my life transformation has been continually improving my health and fitness, to the point where I feel genuinely healthy and good in my body. That’s something I believe many of us are striving for, at any age. That’s such a challenge in the modern environment we live in — with digital devices calling for our attention every waking hour, with work that often means being sedentary for hours a day, and with ultra-processed foods so hard to avoid. Pretty much...

Fundamental to everything we do in Fearless Living Academy is being fully present with whatever we do — whether that’s a new habit we’re forming, or meaningful work we’ve chosen, or just being with people who are important to us. That’s become more and more of a challenge in today’s digital landscape, with short-form video content, social media, online shopping, TV shows and YouTube videos, AI chat bots and so much more. Add to that the huge pile of tasks and emails we have to attend to, and...
