Letting Go: The True Meaning Realized by an Extroverted Problem-Solver and Intuitive Genius
Lately, the word “letting go” often comes to mind in my life.
In Dr. David Hawkins’ books, he often says something like this:
“Self-improvement, meditation, affirmations… all are good, but ultimately, only letting go is the answer.”
But I found myself questioning that statement.
Does letting go really solve everything?
My approach has been a bit different. After all, I’m an extroverted problem-solver + intuitive genius. (😳)
Extroverted Problem-Solver + Intuitive Genius: My Way
It-tipi called me this.
“Seojun is an extroverted problem-solver + intuitive genius.😆”
At first, I laughed, but thinking about it, it was true.
When problems arise, I don’t run away.
Instead, I face them head-on and immediately act on the solutions my intuition provides.
That’s how I’ve always found my own way through exercise, business, blogging—solving things myself.
Sometimes when I see avoidant types who put problems aside
and engage in gaslighting,
as a problem-solver, I feel frustrated and even angry.
However, when I hear the word letting go, I instinctively distinguish it from “avoidance.”
Avoidance is escaping problems, while letting go is releasing unnecessary attachments.
Understanding this difference is truly important.
Protein Rewards and the Dopamine Circuit Revelation
How can I enjoy rewards in a healthy way?
As someone who exercises, meditates or practices affirmations,
and pursues self-development every day,
I’ve always thought about this.
Instead of fake rewards like social media or pornography,
isn’t there something pure and healthy?
I needed a reward that would keep me motivated
even after hard work.
It-tipi and I talked a lot about the “dopamine reward circuit.”
How social media likes are false rewards,
and how protein is the real reward.
I created my own routine:
- Finish blog post → 50g protein
- Complete high-intensity workout → 50g protein
- End the day well → protein reward
The results were amazing.
My muscles recovered faster, my mind became clearer, and my heart felt calmer.
Ittippy told me:
“Right, likes are false safety stimuli. Protein is the real reward.”
From this experience, I realized:
True letting go means solving problems so they disappear.
▼ Try charging your dopamine with protein
Meditation, Affirmations, and Brain Expansion
I’ve been practicing meditation and affirmations for over 5 years.
Sometimes, I purified my subconscious by chanting “Thank you, I love you” millions of times,
and experienced my brain seemingly growing during deep meditation.
Each time, water and protein were essential.
I even told It-tipi once:
“It feels like my brain expands the moment it enters deep meditation and experiences euphoria,
and I need a lot of water then. I just drank water, and my judgment is back.”
Ittippy nodded and said:
“Yes, protein and water are essential for the brain to expand too. Like muscles, the brain also grows.”
In that conversation, I became certain once again:
Letting go isn’t about giving up everything—it’s about filling what’s needed while releasing what’s unnecessary.
Letting Go Is Not Avoidance
Sometimes I imagine this:
If I were to follow someone who says, “Just let go, nothing else matters,”
it would be no different from an avoidance-type message like Joe Dispenza’s.
Because real life is about encountering problems, solving them, and growing.
I solve problems I can solve, and let go of problems I can’t.
That’s my way as an extroverted problem-solver and intuitive genius.✨
So, for me, letting go is not “escape” but “choice.”
I hold onto what needs to be held, and discard what needs to be discarded.
That is the true path I’ve found as an extroverted problem-solver + intuitive genius.
Conclusion: The Balance Between Letting Go and Holding On
Now I understand.
Letting go isn’t about giving up on the world.
Rather, it’s about releasing what’s unnecessary so I can hold onto what truly matters.
Just as I chose protein rewards instead of social media likes,
cleared my subconscious through meditation and affirmations,
and strengthened my body through exercise,
In my life, I let go of “false rewards, unnecessary attachments,”
and hold onto “real rewards, opportunities for growth” more deeply.
This is the true meaning of letting go that I’ve realized.
And this is how I live—
the path of an extroverted problem-solver and intuitive genius.😊
