Letting Go

Having to let go can trigger our deepest fears. The end of a relationship, death of a loved one, job loss, moving, life/age transitions, they're all a part of life but, oh my goodness, can they ever stir things up inside!

In fact, they can be so upsetting that we often want to hit the fast-forward button just to get through the whole tumultuous experience as quickly as possible. However, if we do this we often miss the great gift that lies within this time of transition and one that profoundly affects our future.

So, here's what I'd like to share with you about Letting Go.....

"How" you let someone or something go from your life is as important as the fact that they / it came into your life in the first place.

You can let go from a place of:

1. Fear: "Good Riddance! I didn't want to be there anyway, didn't want them in my life, I'm better off without them." or perhaps we are filled with such deep pain and sorrow that we lose our connection with life, the loss of our loved one makes our life some how less meaningful. This place of letting go is filled with fear-based emotions: anger, resentment, bitterness, hopelessness and despair.

Or

2. Love: "While it wasn't always easy, I'm grateful for having had this chance to learn what I needed to learn about myself and others. I am in this life to learn and someone was going to have to step up and teach me this 'dance' (the life's lesson) so if it wasn't them it would have been someone / something else. I'm grateful that they participated with me in learning this lesson and wish them the best." This place of letting go is filled with acknowledgment, gratitude and if not love, then definitely, respect.

Here's why choice number 2 is the better investment for your future. If you are consumed with anger, resentment, bitterness and despair when you let go, the toxic vibrations associated with these fear-based emotions fill you. Basically you ‘marinade’ in them and because whatever you put your attention on, becomes your Reality, these toxic emotional vibrations are the frequency you can expect to experience as your future. What this means is that even though the person or situation has left your immediate Present, the cycle of pain continues as a result of the fear-based thoughts and emotions you’re participating in and using to create your future and you're not free of it at all!

If, on the other hand, your choice is to let go from a place of Love, you are filled with the kind of emotional vibrations that will richly support you in creating a joyous, loving and abundant future and, as a result, you are truly free.
