Ever heard something so simple yet so deep it just sticks? A student shared their grandma’s saying with me: “Let the loose ends swing and the rough ends drag.” And man, did it hit home. Here I am, too often chasing perfection, and here’s this nugget of wisdom telling me to just relax a bit—focus on the important things…CHILL OUT.
This might just be my mantra for 2024–reminding me to focus on what’s important and let the small stuff slide. Not everything in life needs to be picture-perfect. It’s a call to ease up on ourselves, accept that we’re all a bit rough around the edges, and that’s totally okay.
This practice is like giving ourselves permission to breathe, to not sweat the small stuff, and to remember that it’s fine not to have everything under control. It’s freeing, really. Right?
Grandma advice never gets old. Got any cool sayings like this? Ones that just make you feel lighter? Drop them below. Let’s remind each other that sometimes, it’s okay to just let things be.
