1. Let Go of Your Hate-On for Your Body.

It’s okay to want to look a certain way and to be healthy. Be proud of your body. Look good and feel well, in a healthy way. Understand that you are mortal, but you’re also from Texas! Girl, go ahead and be the woman you are! Love yourself instead of spending excessive time convincing yourself you need to “fix” something.
2. Let Go of the Roadblocks You Set Up in Your Mind.

It’s never too late to start the path to your dream career, your dream savings or retirement, your dream…anything! Texas women are designed with a passion and drive to achieve many great things. Don’t tell yourself that a certain age, size, or situation can stop you from doing that.
3. Let Go of Perfection.

There isn’t a person out there, Texan or otherwise, who’s achieved perfection. Let go of the reigns and ride out your life with a focus on the best you can be instead of the best anyone can be.
4. Let Go of Envy, Anger, and Resentment.

Heard of “green with envy”? That’s an awful color to wear on our best days! Let go of any envy, anger, and resentment you might harbor towards friends or family you feel have hurt you. The quicker you find the ability to forgive, the quicker those little lines might dissipate from your face. Bring joy back into your life by letting go. That doesn’t mean you need to welcome a re-offender back into your life. It simply means acknowledging that you’re done spending time worrying about it.
5. Let Go of Those that Don’t Appreciate the Real You.

We’ve all either heard it or said it our own selves: “…well if you loved me, you’d change…” A woman in any state, let alone Texas, shouldn’t have to compromise her own personal qualities for the approval or love of anyone. This isn’t a reference to bad habits, addictions, or just plain being mean (y’all need to sort that stuff out separately). This refers to what makes you, you. Your talent, your charm, your mannerisms, and your good nature are the right mix for the right people. Look for those people: that’s your Texas tribe y’all.
