Letting Go Isn’t a Moment. It’s a Practice.
Most women think letting go is a moment.
A cry.
A realization.
A dua.
But Allah does not train leaders through moments.
He trains them through repetition.
Allah says He does not change the condition of a people until they change what is within themselves.
So when the same attachment returns, the same fear, the same control, the same survival reflex,
that is not a sign you’re behind.
That is Allah saying:
“Release it again.”
Not because He forgot.
But because your nafs hasn’t learned yet.
Here is where most women misunderstand the work:
Letting go is not emotional.
It is behavioral.
It looks like:
• choosing regulation when panic is familiar
• choosing restraint when relief is tempting
• choosing consistency when motivation disappears
It’s not dramatic.
It’s repetitive.
And that’s exactly why it works.
Because repetition doesn’t feel spiritual.
It feels boring.
It feels inconvenient.
It feels like responsibility.
And most people quit right there.
But here is the truth:
Every time you let go again, your capacity increases.
Every time you do not return to survival, your inner container widens.
Every time you choose differently, quietly, without applause, you move closer.
Closer to peace.
Closer to stability.
Closer to barakah.
Not because life gets easy,
but because you become steady.
This is the part shame tries to hijack:
“Why am I still dealing with this?”
“Shouldn’t I be past this by now?”
No.
Growth is not linear.
Leadership is not clean.
And Allah does not rush refinement.
Allah does not reward intensity.
He rewards consistency.
If you keep “letting go” emotionally but returning to the same behaviours, you have not let go.
You have only paused.
True letting go is when your actions submit
even when your feelings protest.
That is where Allah places barakah.
So if today feels like, “I have to let go again”..
Good.
That means Allah is still working with you.
That means you are still being trusted with refinement.
That means you are closer than you were yesterday.
Weak women ask,
“Why is this still here?”
Leaders ask,
“What is Allah refining in me now?”
👇 Answer this below …. honestly, not performatively:
What is the one behavior Allah is asking you to release again so your next level can finally trust you?
Name it.
Then submit.
That’s where the door opens.
