The Freedom in Letting Go

“Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.”

— Mother Teresa

Today is another day to begin again.

And while there is so much we wish we had not done or that we could do differently, there are no do overs in life.

So rather than lament about the past, and what we didn’t do…didn’t say…or could have said or done better…

Let’s take the time this day and everyday going forward to reflect, assess, accept, and change…

This is part of the purpose of life…part of the reason why your soul agreed to come to this earth…

To learn, to challenge itself, to evolve, and ascend higher into the light…to become a more evolved being.

Part of this process is starting with the limited knowledge that we all begin with…and waking up to the realization that we are doing it all wrong…

And we need to make some major changes.

This process of evolving and waking up is a continuous process of growing and learning and readjusting.

But it’s okay. You don’t have to feel guilty about that because it is part of the process of being human.

We are flawed, all imperfect, and all works in progress…

So let the past go, give it to the creator, forgive yourself…

And rise higher…

So while you can’t go back, you can go forward, you can do better…

And you can be better.

As we release the past, it's important to clear and declutter our space.

Decluttering is very much a spiritual experience.

Every so often, my spirit will begin to get anxious and begin to nudge me in this area, and I’ll just instinctively know…it’s that time.

And when the feeling comes upon me, it’s something I must do…no exceptions, no if’s, ands, or but’s about it.

It is my spirit signaling that it’s time to turnover a new cycle and renew…

Time to rid myself of the old, dead, stale, and stagnant things in my life that I no longer need and that are keeping me stuck and motionless.

Time to release mental, physical, and emotional burdens and heaviness weighing me down.

Time to cleanse and reset.

Out with the old, in with the new.

Time to let go and release what no longer serves and to make room for the new and better.

Sometimes it’s hard to let go of the old…whether it be for sentimental reasons, or because you think you may need it in the future (though you haven’t used it in ten years), or you feel it’s wasteful to throw away possibly useful things.

You may even have an emotional block that prevents you from parting with these things.

But make peace with it today, change your mindset, and feel safe in the knowledge that you’re not actually losing anything.

Whatever you let go of comes back to you in new and improved forms.

The universe will reward you with new things that fit where you are today, rather than the old, stuck energy surrounding your old, lackluster items.

It may seem counterintuitive, but you must let go in order to receive back better.

Release it today…and watch the new and better unfold.

“And suddenly you know: It’s time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings.”

― Meister Eckhart
