Letting go isn't as easy as it sounds
"There will never be a time when life is simple. There will always be time to practice accepting that. And, every moment is a chance for you to let go and feel peaceful." You know that in theory, however most of us struggle to let go even if it is essential for our personal growth. It is not always easy to apply theory to practice because letting go can easily trigger fear, frustration and anger because when you leave something behind and don’t know what to replace it with; you leave space for the unknown and the unknown is scary. Change is always scary, especially when you don’t know what’s coming next. That’s why you might find yourself clinging to the unwanted because that’s what’s familiar and known to you. Today, it is time for you to find better ways to let go of everything that you know no longer serves any purpose in your life and yet you remain attached to it or them. Today, instead of trying harder to let go, accept fully where you are. Embrace it completely. Say yes to all worry, shame, and guilt. Confirm all the negative thoughts and feelings so that you can release yourself from their grip. Simply, give up the battle. Simply surrender. Then, invite in what you desire in to your life, rather than focusing and dwelling on what you do not want. Today, imagine, visualize, and fantasize what you’d love to have instead to come into your life. “Where focus grows, energy flows.” Today, focus on the wanted, not the unwanted. Focus on what you want for your future not what you do not want and letting go will become so much easier and you will become more peaceful, ready for new people, places, things and experiences to enter your life.
Just for today, I know if I dwell on what I do not want. That is exactly what I will get more of. I now affirm only the good in my life. I focus my attention on loving myself and trusting in the Universe. I am centered and focused and I feel more secure each day. I am safe and I am willing to let go of my need to struggle and suffer. Everything is always working out for my highest good. And so it is.
