The Power of Letting Go
I know we have touched on this before but some of you are still coming in and asking how to “let go”. Here are a few ideas.

We all like the results of our efforts with Spring cleaning. Sometimes it’s not a fun thing to do but we are all aware of the shift in energy once it is complete. If feels good. An accomplishment, something we can feel proud of.

Here are a few examples of other releases with great results.

Write a letter to yourself. Whether it’s to forgive yourself for something you didn’t accomplish or to tell yourself how proud you are for a job well done. Some people are starving for praise and mistakenly feed that hunger with food. Sometimes we need to release anger or hurt with others and it’s just not possible or it’s too intimidating. Get your thoughts and hurt on paper. You’ll be surprised how helpful it can be. And don’t be surprised how much you have to say. Get it out and “let it go”.

Watch a sad movie to stimulate a good crying jag. Once you start to let go, then let it flow. Have a box of Kleenex handy and drink lots of water. The water helps to neutralize the acids released from the emotions that are being released. It gives a sense of putting out the fires. Afterwards give yourself a good hug and say “I’m proud of you. You released a lot of old stuff”. This is much better than going to the freezer for the ice cream. Ice cream isn’t therapy. It’s fat! If you are going to eat ice cream, eat it to enjoy, not to destroy.

Clean out the garage or a closet. We all have a habit of holding on to old stuff. Stuff we haven’t used in years. Let it go. Most of the stuff we are holding on to tends to hold us back from moving forward. Ask yourself some simple questions. Do I need this in my life? Could someone else use this more than me?

Depending on your answers which may surprise you, give the item away with love. And then say “this has been in my life. I am ready to release it and give it to someone who can really use it and enjoy it”.

Try these things and be aware of how your energy will shift and how much more positive you will feel. You will definitely have more peace in your life.

Remember the power of letting go. It will empower you.

Be Well,

Tana
