Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I hold on to everything all day long
• The part is ready to let the weight go and now I’m at the actual moment of release
• I hover over everything out of anxiety — checking, tweaking, watching every outcome — and the harder I try to control it the worse it seems to go, like I’m choking the very thing I’m trying to make work.
• The burden is finally gone and there’s this open, empty space where it used to live
• Something I love is clearly ending
