Are you able to let go?
Letting go feels hard because we believe holding on is protecting us. We replay words that hurt us. We relive moments that embarrassed us. We carry old relationships and past mistakes as if they are proof of who we are. At some point this starts to feel normal. Even necessary. We convince ourselves that releasing the past means losing control or excusing what happened.
That belief keeps us stuck.
Holding on is not strength. It is resistance. It is energy tied up in moments that no longer exist. When you grip the past, you are not fixing it. You are feeding it. You keep your body and mind locked in a state of tension that slowly drains you. That heavy state is catabolic energy. It breaks you down while convincing you it is keeping you safe.
Letting go is not giving up. It is taking your power back. It is the decision to stop paying attention to what you cannot change and start investing energy in what you can influence right now. When you release what no longer serves you, you create space. That space allows anabolic energy to rise. Energy that builds you. Energy that supports clarity peace and forward movement.
You do not need to forget the past. You need to stop living in it. Awareness shows you what you are holding. Accountability reminds you that you are the one carrying it. Responsibility gives you the choice to set it down.
You can do this today. Notice what keeps replaying. Ask what it is costing you. Then choose to release it not for them but for you. This is how you become lighter, freer, and aligned with who you are capable of becoming.

Let's talk: Coping with Losing in a Competition. #conversation
In the recent events of me tragically losing in the #TangledTournament4 and not making it to the finals I feel the need to reassure myself and address proper behaviour when being exposed as a #loser .
A wise Wiki How once said: "There are a lot of benefits to be gained from participating in a competition, such as perseverance, mental and physical exercise, and social interaction. The most important benefit, though, is the gain of coping skills. Accepting your #loss , keeping your spirits high, and preparing for your next competition are ways to deal with losing that will allow you to feel happy about your participation and ready to face the next challenge."
but How do YOU deal with losing?
Some basic guidelines:
Method 1 (my least favorite)
Accepting Your #Loss .jpg
1 . Congratulate your opponent(s). Commending your opponent for a game well-played is a classy way to handle defeat, and a good habit to develop for all competition. While you might have a knee-jerk-off reaction to #loss at first, losing gracefully is a valuable life skill that can apply to many aspects of life. Offering a handshake, high five or simple congratulations to someone who beat you is an excellent show of #sportsmanship and a positive step in processing a loss.
2. Talk about the loss. Success in competition means enjoying, and benefitting from, your #participation in a game or event; this success requires certain mental skills, including people skills, and the ability to deal effectively with #emotions . Discussing your loss- with friends, family, teammates, a coach, or anyone else who will listen- is a healthy way to acknowledge your feelings after a competition, and to reinforce your commitment to the game itself.
"I feel naked, get me some clothes!"
3. Make a list of the things you gained from #participating . It is important to remember that competition is about more than just a win and a #loss . Performance, mastery of skill and sportsmanship are all vital components of the experience that do not hinge on beating an opponent. To help you focus on the good, write #down some of the benefits that your participation in the competition provided, such as:
Fart jokes.
..
Method 2 "The Distractor"
Keeping Your Spirits High
1. Enjoy some funny, lighthearted fart jokes. #Losing a competition may inspire #negative thoughts and emotions, which can contribute to #problems of mental health if they are dwelled upon for too long. To avoid overthinking your #loss , look for fun distractions that will boost your spirit and promote a more optimistic outlook. Like, when have you last looked at goatse or tubgirl?
2. Give yourself a 'consolation' prize. Whether or not you win a competition, your hard work and participation deserve to be rewarded. If you are sad about losing, treating yourself is an excellent way of boosting your mood and acknowledging your merit. “Bangin a Hooker” has been shown to promote happiness by providing a stronger sense of control over a person’s environment and alleviating sadness.
3. Write down a list of great things about yourself. But who needs that?
Method 3:
Preparing for the Next Competition
1. E stablish your game plan or strategy.
Mental preparedness is a crucial component of competing, especially when you are coming back from a #loss . Self-doubt and second-guessing may blur your focus and prevent you from bringing your "Ass game" to the competition. Committing to a plan or strategy beforehand, particularly one that implements things that you learned from your last competition, will allow you to perform in a decisive and confident weaner.
In a farting competition, for example, a pooper's strategy might involve considering whether to go as fast as possible right after the dump, break out mid-race, or alternate between high and low speed.
2. Psych yourself up with music. Anime Techno is an excellent way to get back into the rhythm of competition after loss. It has been shown that Anime Techno can improve performance by lowering a competitor's perception of effort, steering their mind away from the perception of fatigue and quelling feelings of anxiety before a competition.
3. Find a lucky charm or pre-game ritual. Good luck charms or rituals have been proven to improve performance by boosting competitors' belief in their ability to accomplish a task. Choosing a special dog-turd or tradition of your own might be especially useful if your self-assuredness is shaken after a losing a competition. While overemphasis on superstition is not ideal, it might be a positive move to add a fun, confidence-boosting element to your routine while competing, such as:
a lucky buttplug
Anyway.. these are just a few of my favorite ways of getting over a loss.
Others include being a sarcastic whiney princess, maybe you already guessed that.
but more importantly:
What's your strategy?
