It’s time to let it go.

It’s time to let it go.

Letting go is essential for progress, enabling freedom and the release of burdens, yet it can be oddly challenging. If you’re finding it difficult to let go, allow me to put your mind at ease by welcoming you to the club. We’ve all been there. As human beings, we frequently form emotional attachments beyond our cognition. These attachments intensify over time however, we somehow maintain progress despite the problem.

Consider this story: A father, preparing to take his son to the park, finds the boy's hand stuck in a vase upon returning from fetching his shoes. "Get your hand out of there!" the dad yells, to which the son replies, "I can't." Upon closer inspection, the dad realizes the boy's hand is clenched around a piece of paper. "Let go of the trash!" he instructs, and the boy releases the paper, freeing his hand.

This tale illustrates how we sometimes cling to things that trap us, much like how toxic thoughts can linger in our minds, impacting our days and health. It's crucial to release such burdens.

“We do not heal the past by dwelling there; we heal the past by living fully in the present.”–?Marianne Williamson

Before letting go, reflect on why you held on. Seeking closure may strip you of joy; some things may never be understood, and that's okay. Holding on due to betrayal or unfinished business only drains your energy and isn't worth the effort. Sometimes holding on does more damage than letting go. Therefore, we must practice giving our hands (hearts) permission to release the grip, often!

This week, ponder your worth and what you deserve. You’re unique, with a wealth of skill, passion, ability & talent. Aside from those nuances, there is a measure of strength within which speaks volumes amid adversity. Every challenge you've faced has equipped you, turning what seems impossible for others into opportunities for you. Embrace these opportunities and move forward freely, making a decision to let go.

LET GO - Because you deserve better

LET GO - Because what “they” did to you, won’t compare to whats happening for you

LET GO - Because holding on to the past, won’t allow you to get a good grip on the future.

Now, LET GO!
