The wonderful Mel Robbins introduced us to the “Let Them Theory.”

In short, it posits that when someone wants to do something, you let them! You don’t argue or try to change someone else’s behavior.

Mel Says:

When you “Let Them” do whatever it is that they want to do, it creates more control and emotional peace for you and a better relationship with the people in your life.

How sane! How relaxing! And how simple.

But I’ve got a challenge for you, how about where we were thinking of people, we think of the Universe. For whatever reason things happen, what if we just “let” the universe do what it wants, without arguing or trying to change things in the moment.

We can call this the “Let It Theory.”

It means to just say Let It to anything the universe wants to do. When we say Universe, it’s not necessarily a personal universe or God, it can just be thought of as all the collection of influences that results in something happening. Whatever feels right to you. The key is, not to ARGUE, mentally, emotionally, or even verbally, haha, with the universe once something is happening (e.g. this shouldn’t be happening, I wish it was different, etc.)

So, here are some examples:

• I’m already running late for work, and now the Universe is blocking the road with a traffic jam. Let it! (But I can also choose to take a different road, if I want. Or phone my boss to let them know I’ll be late.)
• I’ve only got $500 in the bank, and now the Universe is sending me an unexpected tax bill for $600. Let it! (I can still take actions to scrounge up some money, or phone the IRS and ask for an extension.)
• I’ve been so excited leading up to this big event I have, and now the Universe is giving me the flu? Let it! (I can still decide to take some extra time for self-care, and/or lovingly communicate with the people involved and have a human moment.)

Just like with your relationship with people, with the Let It Theory, you will actually have more control, emotional peace, and a better “relationship” with the universe.

Because, let’s face it, the universe is going to do what it does.

Our real power lies in not resisting, and getting as quickly as possible to a place of positive response!
