    • Joanna Gaines opened up about aging and letting go in a new interview with Drew Barrymore.
    • “Especially as I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned that giving up is a lot more fun,” he said.
    • The life lesson he shares is very powerful.

    In a recent episode The Drew Barrymore Show, Joanna Winshusband Chip and Barrymore gather around talk show coffee We sat down to chat about aging. Joanna, in particular, detailed how she learned to “let go” of everything that was holding her back as she got older.

    “I put so much pressure on myself that I’m starting to let go a little bit,” Barrymore began. And I didn’t know how to let go. I am like a white-knuckle monkey’s paw; nothing will escape this grip.

    Joanna laughed and admitted that she, too, was a planner and a perfectionist. “I feel like my whole life has been: ‘How do I guess? How do I check? “I don’t want any surprises,” he explained; This can apply to everything from many renovation and design projects to random surprises that come with aging, like fine lines, energy shifts, or body changes. “Especially as I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned that giving up is a lot more fun,” he shared.

    The Magnolia Network host added that yes, the urge to control comes in handy in being organized and successful; But he learned that wasn’t the most important thing. “At the end of the day, when I look back, I want to remember those moments,” he said. “I want to remember that I enjoyed them. I used to not move forward unless everything was aligned and perfect… but what I learned along the way is that you just have to move forward. Then I really feel like I can do anything.”

    With his many years of experience and Chip’s support, he is no longer as afraid of the unexpected as he used to be. “If I fail, guess what? I will learn. “I’ll be better next time,” he said. “So for me, I love this idea: We have to move forward. Put the comparison aside. Put the fear and anxiety, everything aside. Because these are real things, but if you start moving forward, I always feel like it’s falling off my back.” I imagine like… that’s the power that gets you to the next place.”

    It’s seemingly simple advice, but it takes most of us a lifetime to learn, which is why Joanna wrote a children’s book on the subject: The World Needs Who You Were Created To Be. He shared his childhood in 2020 Photograph and thought about how far he had come.

    “The older I get, the more I realize how much time I spend believing the lie that who I am isn’t good enough. “I find myself fighting to take back all this time,” he wrote. “I hope you find the courage to embrace everything you are, all your quirks, all your beauty, all your genius, because the world needs YOU.”
