Letting Go!

I've seen a common pattern popping up for me this year. An opportunity for growth and expansion in my life. I am talking about the act of "letting go". For whatever reason I have become more aware of this in my life and am working consciously to apply tools to help with the process in order to move forward in my training, personal growth, work and relationships, etc. 

At a quick glance "letting go" appears on the surface to be a relatively easy task. But I know that for many people their heavy baggage comes from just burying most things rather than truly "letting go" ultimately creating a lack of freedom and space to move forward.

My identified areas to let go:

• the past or what used to be

• mistakes, actions or words

• things we have no control over,

• judgements or negative thoughts,

• undesirable outcomes

Steps to letting go:

• Firstly I need to recognize and acknowledge when something is not serving me.

• Allow myself to feel emotions without dwelling on things. If I don't allow this to happen, I am just stuffing everything inside.

• Practice forgiveness towards myself and others.

• Recognize and embrace gratitude for the opportunity to learn and grow.

• Create a positive affirmation

By letting go, space is created for positive energy to come into my life and those around me. Letting go helps me to live in the moment and act now rather than spending unproductive time in the past or being worried about the future.
