7 things i know about letting go; for me to shed even more.
(posted on Tuesday, January 4 by eii wyy nae.)
life rips stuff out of our grip or we paint ourself into a corner or things get so heavy they stop us in our tracks & we have to ditch them just to carry on. but personally, its awake except for the agony of it.
1. there's always more to let go of; its endless. just surrender to the endlessness of it.
2. typically letting go is painful; in varying degrees, from wince to damn near crippling, its gonna hurt. fact!
3. hard leads to soft; imagine ripping off a bandage; dropping an heirloom off @ the thrift store & resolving to not go back to get it; kissing him that way for the last time & tearing yourself away because you need to grow in the other direction; boarding the plane w/ a heavy heart. when you steel the nerve to bee tough enough to let go, you crossover over a sacred line. & on the other side, tenderness is waiting &, “she's very proud & she's very encouraging.”
4. baby steps are okay but we cant avoid the pain that surfaces when we commit to the letting go; see, we just cant get around the pain part.
5. from the mundane to the monumental, letting go hurts. always has, always will. yep, a repeat of #2. it bears repeating.
6. acceptance is medicine; when we just accept that the pain of letting go is part of the deal, our let~go wound will heal “faster”.
7. out of, say, 12 people i've talked to about letting go of all sorts of stuff ~ material & emotional - 88% of them wished they'd done it sooner & 97% of them have no regrets whatsoever {i know someone well who does!}. only 3% are still confused. when we let go, the odds are in our favour.
for me to shed even more, well, im getting close to the marrow these days. thankfully. the marrow is the source of vitality.
