Letting Go Now

Have you ever felt that something that bothered you was super sticky and you just couldn’t let it go even though you wanted to?

People are always telling us to “let go.” They tell us to let go of the past. They tell us to let go and let God. But do those people tell us HOW to let go? Usually they don’t.

Letting go can be SO hard.

Myself, I’ve felt my personality identity so attached to thoughts about the past and the meaning I made of it that I didn’t feel like it was in ANY way possible for me to let go. I have felt like a roast turning on a spit, tortured by my obsessive thinking about the past.

When we’re convinced that the past should have been different and that something was terribly wrong, we will often have a tendency to not accept what has been. We go over it and over it in our mind trying to analyze WHAT happened, WHY it happened, HOW it could’ve been different, and most importantly, who is to blame.

We can’t even begin to let go until we have figured it out.

I’ve invested many precious years of my life into those mental obsessions.

I don’t do that anymore.

I dissolved the habit of that obsessive thinking about the past, the injustice, who to blame.

I did it by learning to ACCEPT what has been and what is now. This doesn’t mean I gave up a vision of healing, or wholeness. Just the opposite.

Instead of investing my precious time energy and attention into ruminating about the past, I can invest my energy into holding a vision of wholeness, and freedom.  I’m glad I’ve learned this. Holding this vision makes me feel successful and happy.  And that’s a great feeling.

Holding a vision of goodness is powerful. I’m liberating from the burdens of my perceptions of the past. 

I cannot ruminate about the past while simultaneously visioning for a future of wholeness. I have to choose one or the other, past or future, problem or possibility.  I’ve learned which one is going to help me live the life I desire NOW.

Are you willing to let go of the meaning you made of the past so you can be happy now?  Can you be willing to release the blame and the guilt in order to hold a vision of Love?

If so, willingness will get you there.  An active willingness to let the past go, and to accept what is will take you a long way there.

Join me Saturday, APRIL 12 for a WORKSHOP Activating Faith & Trust for A Happier Life Part 2.  By popular request, my April Deep Dive Workshop topic is Activating Faith & Trust for A Happier Life Part 2.  Many spiritual students find it very difficult to have faith and place their trust in Spirit, in intuition, and inspiration.  Without trust and faith, it’s not possible to awaken and enjoy the daily benefits that being connected with Spirit brings.  Trust and faith are possible and there are practical methods to access them.  Join me on Saturday, April  12th for a deep dive into the HOW of activating faith and trust.  Click now to register.
