There’s something so hard about letting go of people, places, and things. But, even harder is holding on to things that you need to dispose of before they contaminate your mind, body, and soul even further.
I’m guilty of holding onto to the past a lot. One would say I am “Sentimental” and that “One” would be me. Indeed I am! But, sentimental and obsessive thinking are two different creatures for sure. I’m learning the difference. FINALLY.
It’s a great feeling to kick bad habits to the curb and an even greater feeling knowing that you aren’t being self-destructive anymore too. Here are some emotional habits that can hold you back in life and personally keep you locked up from yourself if you let them.
Socializing with poisonous friends
Holding on to past love
Thinking about yesterday while losing sight of tomorrow
Holding onto grudges
Refusing to see the error of your ways
Being negative
Not chasing your dreams
Procrastination
Listening to others mindless opinions
Not following your own heart
And, most importantly, not being YOU.
If any of this pertains to you…UNLOAD IT! Now is the time! Don’t waste one more minute worrying what people say or think about you. Don’t live in the past it’s gone for a reason. Forge ahead.
If something is bringing you down and making you feel like you are heavy and miserable…let go.
Once you do, you truly find an inner peace that only you can provide yourself.
As, a very good friend of mine constantly reminds me (because I’ve needed it) “What others do to you has very little to do with you, it’s all about the way they feel about themselves.”
Believe it.
So, let go. You won’t fall. You’ll rise to the potential you were born with.
Let go…and you will begin to live.
