LETTING GO!!!
Joseph Danladi Elvis Bot

What would you like to change in your personal life?
What dreams are you aspiring to, but hold back from doing because of a past belief or set of circumstance which causes negative thinking for you?
What are you holding onto that you know is not for you anymore?
What relationship has troubled you?
What big change are you avoiding? Are you feeling more comfort in unhappy familiarity rather than delving into unknown territories?
What career changes, perhaps even a total change of direction, could bring about more satisfaction?
It’s time to let go of the past, to release that which no longer serves our growth, and to rebuild upon a new foundation. We are all healers, and this is a great opportunity to transform our lives in a way that will nourish our soul.
We need not be guilty of creating a life of happiness. There is no need to hurt those who have limited us in freeing ourselves. And, in some cases, we may need to break free from a career, a job, a relationship, or even family in order to create the life we want. However, most letting go is not usually burning a bridge, but often letting go is an inside job: letting go might mean changing our belief pattern, a way we process emotion, or how we view life.
It is important to take inventory of our positives and negatives prior to ever making a decision to let go of the past. I recommend getting out a notebook and writing these lists down.
Who and what is affecting us positively? Who and what is affecting us negatively? If a person, job, or family member -- even a lover -- is putting us down frequently, then we may be wise to address the issue with them and/or either create change in that relationship or distance ourselves from them.
One way to let go of the past is to remove or revise our expectations that created conflict...
