Letting go

Change involves learning new things. Yet, the greatest change is often about letting go. It may be the way we do things, the way we think, the way we feel. It may be fears, habits, judgments, hurts, victimizations, attachments, attitudes, and beliefs that are not serving us. Letting go is hard and scary since holding on feels like we are protecting ourselves.

On day-to-day basis we must challenge ourselves to let go of the behaviors that are no longer bringing us the life we want. So, what is one small thing are you ready to let go today? What is something that is creating stress or imbalance? It could be something small to begin with or something that robs you of your joy. Or it could be a thought that pops up all the time and reminds you, you are not good enough, not smart enough, or not doing enough, or not bold enough and so on.

Letting go of what gets in our way brings us more freedom, peace and joy. Giving ourselves permission to let go allows us to grow and trust that we can grow. We don’t have to be perfect. We have a choice to let go and empower ourselves to create the life we want.

  1. Hi, Philomena
    It's been delightful to receive your writings.
    I took time to read a few of them again. Thanks for sharing your insight. Validation video was not new to me, but it was great to watch it again here. Finally, I found a place for dental office and I'll work with my husband from June. BTW, are you going to move out? Be well~ from Kayeon
