English term or phrase: release (as in let go of, in a mental/emotional sense)

I accept my divinity
I ***release*** my fears

J'accepte donc ma divinité / mon essence divine?
Mais est-ce que je ferais mieux de me libérer de mes peurs ou bien de les lâcher (relâcher)? Je cherches une traduction correcte, bien-sûr car ce n'est pas ma langue maternelle; et si on a la luxe du choix, quelle est la traduction qui résonne le mieux pour vous?

Merci à vous

Explanation:
Just a suggestion. "Abandonner" means to let go, to get rid of.

I am from France, Kelly. I live in Canada but I am a French citizen, ergo the translation I gave is actually european French.

"Craintes" just sounds more lyrical. "Peurs" works aswell I suppose, it just doesn't sound as good.

Yes releasing to me implies that you were a prisoner of your fears therefore I opted for "se libérer de".

Notes to answerer

Asker: Thanks Manue, how do you feel about the distinction between "releasing" and "freeing oneself from", "se libérer de" et "lâcher/abondonner" in terms of empowerment?

Asker: Mon ressenti est que le premier impliques l'idée qu'on a été "prisonier" de ses peurs plutôt que de les avoir guardées.. mais je suis pas sûre que cela sonnes correctes en Français de france...

Asker: excuse-moi des fautes d'orthographe!

Asker: Thank you. Does anybody know if this would work in european french as well? And why use "craintes" instead of "peurs"? :o)
