When You Think You’ve Surrendered, Surrender More 🫠

True surrender isn’t announced — it’s dissolved

This came to me after hearing a few people speak with such certainty:

🧍‍♂️ A man in his late 70s saying nothing is blocking him from manifesting.

🧍‍♀️ A friend proclaiming she did “everything perfectly” in her past relationship.

And my brain quietly went: Hmm… are you sure?

Not to doubt their sincerity — but because I’ve seen this pattern before.

The moment we declare surrender, we’re often still trying to win 🎖️

Because here’s the thing:

When you think you’ve surrendered, you probably haven’t.

And when you say you’ve surrendered, it’s likely ego speaking spiritual fluently.

The very act of declaring surrender can subtly place us above the situation — like we’re done with it, over it, moved on.

But true surrender isn’t about moving on.

It’s about merging with what is, until there’s nothing left to fight, name, or fix.

No resistance. No distance. Just presence.

When Naming Becomes Separating

Imagine this: your friend throws a party to “officially forget her ex.” 🎉🕯️

Wouldn’t you raise a brow and go, “Oh no… she’s not over him at all.”

Because if you’ve really let go, you don’t need a ceremony to prove it.

You just… let go.

It’s the same with surrender.

If you’re still saying “I surrender,” you’re likely still trying to prove something —

To life. To others. To yourself.

And that, ironically, is not surrender.

That’s just rejection dressed up in spiritual robes.

When Spiritual Buzzwords Are Just Armour

You hear it often:

✨ “I’m perfectly non-attached.”

✨ “There’s nothing blocking me.”

✨ “I’ve already surrendered.”

These sound beautiful.

But sometimes, they mask the very thing we’re trying not to feel.

The subtle grasp for control.

The fear of looking “not healed.”

The attachment to being done with it.

And so “perfection” becomes pressure.

“No-blocking” becomes denial.

And “surrender” becomes performance.

Real surrender doesn’t try to look surrendered

It doesn’t rush to name the lesson or justify the loss.

It doesn’t push away the discomfort just to sound evolved.

It just… allows.

Without needing to be seen doing it.

Without needing to explain why.

💧Real surrender says nothing.

It just flows.

Not because you mastered it —

But because you stopped trying to.
