Letting Go: Attitudes Of Mindfulness

Letting go is the opposite of grasping and clinging to what we want. Instead, we learn to let go of the urge to control the uncontrollable - always going after the things we want or continually resisting any negative experience or emotion. In letting go, we allow our experience to be as it is in the moment.

Letting go is one of the nine attitudes of mindfulness described by Jon Kabat-Zinn in his book Full Catastrophe Living.
