"Let it be" means to accept. You aren't necessarily in agreement with the thought, feeling or event, but you accept it as it is without judging it as good or bad.
To "let it be" will help you not stress out.
If you are stressed, don't fret over your mood. Don't tell yourself you shouldn't have the feelings that come about and don't tell yourself you need to think happier thoughts. You don't need to do anything. That feeling that you have that this or that needs to happen will cause more stress. It brings the feeling that you are doing something wrong and the negative self talk begins. When you feel like you need to do something, that you aren't doing something right, that you are missing something, and these are some of the kinder sounding negative motions, then you keep feeling bad for yourself and continue mulling over the issue. To let it be can mean to step out, to look at it as if you are not a part of the situation. We often see what other people might be able to do to fix a situation because we are outside of it. We have a less stressful point of view so we can see solutions that might work.
To "let it be" will help you not feel depressed.
When you are down in the dumps, you probably have thoughts like what a bad person you are for just feeling so down. Try telling yourself that it is okay to feel down. All feelings are valid. How we act on them or in spite of them can make or break us.
~If you have been depressed for a while, a couple weeks, a couple months or years, you should probably see a doctor. We all have chemical imbalances and some chemicals might be too far out of whack for you to get better on your own. That doesn't make you a bad person. It's not something you can help nor is it your fault that your body work improperly. You are not doomed. If you don't like the idea of stay-happy medicine then have your blood and urine tested to see what you can learn through numbers. It could be that you need more b12 (but there are too many chemicals and hormones to test to list them all).~
All feelings are valid means that you are allowed to feel bad about yourself, you are allowed to feel overwhelmed, you are allowed to be happy, you are allowed to worry, you are allowed to feel stress (etc). You are not wrong, you are not a bad person, you are not stupid for doing this or not doing that. Let the thoughts and feelings of the emotions be what they are without getting mad at them or mad at yourself for feeling them and you don't need to get mad at someone else for not understanding why you feel the way you do. Of course, if you do get mad at someone for not understanding or for saying something adverse, let it be by not getting mad at yourself for getting mad at someone else or the situation. I always say we aren't angry at a person, we are angry with a situation and we take it out on the person we think caused the situation. If we let it be, we would see it very differently and we would feel different about it.
Let everything be a hypothesis. Think of any thoughts internal or external as a theory that can be proven fact or fiction. Don't judge the hypothesis, don't place connotations like an idea you come up with is a stupid idea, it's just part of a brainstorm that will lead to knowledge. Gaining knowledge or learning already proves a "stupid idea" is fiction because you're growing mentally and you can come up with other ideas from that "stupid" one. How is that stupid.
Let this post and the entire blog be a hypothesis. It's not right, it's not wrong, it just is.
