I have read many articles and books about letting go, which is the same as surrender. They can often be vague and lack practical value.
This very short article describes exactly how to let go.
Give your mind a break from spinning and spinning, and trying to figure everything out. Breathe, empty your mind, and surrender.

Letting go
Letting go means to allow emotions to rise and run their course without attaching any thoughts to them. You may need to do this more than once for an emotion. What replaces it is a peaceful positive feeling such as peace or unconditional love.
That's it. Thats the definition of letting go and the mechanism.
Feelings are information not instructions. For me that is the definition of surrender. It’s letting go of the thoughts that I have when emotions come up.
Allow this place of surrender and inner stillness to be the vehicle through which God communicates an inspired thought or idea. Divine communications arise within you, without effort or straining. The process cannot be forced, it must flow through a calm mind.It serves us to access the highest plane of consciousness. Psalm 46:10 states "Be still and know God".
Eckhart Tolle said that "Life isn't as serious as the mind makes it out to be."
Lao Tzu wrote that "When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be." Paulo Coelho once said "If you are brave enough to say goodbye, life will reward you with a new hello."
If you want to read more about letting go I recommend the book 'Letting Go: The Pathway to Surrender' by David R. Hawkins, which is in my 'Suggested reading List.'
I see you, I hear you, I see the divine in you.
Speak in such a way that others love to listen to you: Listen in such a way that others love to speak to you.
Namaste.
