When You Can’t “Let Go”: Meditating with Attachment Instead
We’ve all heard the advice: “Just let it go.” Whether it’s a painful relationship, a lingering resentment, or an old fear, the phrase is often used as a shorthand for moving on, clearing space, or cultivating peace. But what happens when letting go feels impossible? When the grip is too tight, the memory too raw, or the emotion too alive? Meditation, contrary to popular belief, doesn’t require us to force detachment. In fact, some of the deepest healing happens when we sit down with our attachments—not in spite of them.

We often associate meditation with calming the mind, but what if the body knows the way before the mind catches up? Body-led meditation flips the usual approach: instead of trying to think your way into stillness, you follow physical sensations—tightness in the shoulders, warmth in the chest, or the gentle rhythm of your breath. This somatic approach grounds you in the here and now without requiring you to silence your thoughts completely. The focus shifts from what’s happening in the mind to what’s happening throughout your body.

Meditation for the Overthinker: Quieting the Mental Loop
Overthinking feels like trying to put out a fire by fanning the flames. You analyze, reflect, plan, and re-plan — hoping for clarity but only getting more tangled. For overthinkers, silence isn’t peaceful; it’s suspicious. Stillness doesn’t soothe; it amplifies the noise. So how do you practice meditation when your mind won’t shut up?

How to Stay Motivated When Nothing Seems to Be Working
There was a point in my life when every door I knocked on stayed shut. I had followed all the advice—wake up early, stay focused, visualize success. I put in the effort. I applied for dozens of jobs, sent out proposals, created content, even tried freelancing. And yet… nothing. Days became weeks, and weeks became months. I was still exactly where I started—stuck.
