For me, "letting go" has been working powerfully. "Letting be" works sometimes, but not as well. If I have a thought that doesn't serve me, I just tell myself "let it go" in a confident, maybe even authoritative way, but not in a mean or harmful way. There's a strong voice inside me that tells the weaker, more indecisive part of me to just "let it go" and Presto! my worries diminish and even desappear and they are replaced by relaxation, relief and calm. I personally am very fond of "letting go" though I think different things work in different stages of our growth and development.

well said! 'letting go' and 'letting be' are for me basically two ways of talking about the same thing... i just find that people can have distortions arise if they are trying to force themselves to 'let go' to make something disappear, and in this case 'let be' can be useful ... glad you've found this ability to rapidly let go of what is not useful <3
