You need to know what's holding you back.
By Madelyn Rennie — Written on Nov 04, 2016
I know, I know, it can be really hard to let sh*t go sometimes. Sometimes we choose not to because deep down we really don't want to let it go. But other times we just can't help it from bubbling up from the depths of our minds when we least expect it — and really don't want it.
Often times the things we struggle with letting go the most have to do with our relationships.
It could be learning how to let go of a past lover in order to make room for happiness with a new one. Or it could be that you have a history of being cheated on and you can't seem to shake those trust issues with your new partner.
Your issues may not even stem from a past relationship — they could be solely placed on the relationship you're in currently.
Maybe your partner has cheated on you and you gave them a second chance, yet you can't help but wonder if you can even trust him anymore.
It sucks having these negative feelings in your head constantly weighing you down and keeping you from being truly happy. Every situation is different and some things are easier to let go than others.
But in the end, letting any negative thought go — whether it be big or small — is absolutely imperative to achieving the immense happiness you were meant to have.
We'll tell you exactly what you need to figure out how to let go according to your zodiac sign. Take a look!
