You Don’t Have to Try So Hard

Have you ever felt like you're trying so hard to hold everything together... and still feeling like it's not enough? Like you're gripping the oars of your life so tightly that your hands ache — yet somehow you're afraid that if you loosen your grip, everything will fall apart?

You’re not alone. I've seen this pattern show up in so many of the incredible people I work with: the need to control every detail, the belief that perfection equals worth, the fear that if we stop pushing so hard, we’ll somehow lose everything we've built. But here’s the truth: You don’t have to try so hard to be enough. You already are.

Real power doesn't come from squeezing tighter. It comes from trusting yourself enough to let go.

When we let go of the need to control everything — the outcome, the opinions, the pace — we create space. Space for peace. Space for miracles. Space for life to meet us halfway.

You are not valuable because you are perfect. You are valuable because you are you — a whole, messy, brilliant, ever-growing human being with a heart that was never meant to be measured by your achievements.

When we finally loosen the grip, we don’t fall apart. We float.

Just like a river knows how to carry a boat downstream, life knows how to carry us to exactly where we need to go — if we trust the current, if we allow the flow.

So what if today, you stopped trying so hard? What if you laid down the heavy stones of perfectionism, fear, and control? What if you chose ease over pressure? Joy over judgment? Trust over fear?

You are already worthy. You are already enough. You are already held.

You don’t have to earn your worthiness. You only have to remember it.

When you do, everything begins to change — not because you pushed harder, but because you finally made space for the life you were meant to live.

If you're ready to stop gripping the oars and start trusting the journey, I’d love to walk with you. Explore hypnotherapy sessions at LeighKubin.com — and give yourself permission to float.
