Letting Go

Stepping into the new phase of anything requires
letting go of the old phase and your familiar ways
of functioning in that phase.

Like the snake shedding its skin, you need to release
what you no longer need so you have room to grow and
to move forward to the next level of being.

Letting go feels scary, however, which explains why
you often want to know with certainty what is coming
next and how it is going to fully play out before you let
go of what is known. Yet the transformational process
of change rarely works that way.

Often after releasing the old, you experience a period
of not knowing before the new is born from the ashes.

Honoring the transformational phase of a process
requires trust and letting go is just the first stage.

Depending on what you are feeling, choose the opposite:

If you are confused, pray for clarity.
If harshly judging, then forgive.
If afraid of risk, act boldly.
If competitive, recognize abundance for all.
If selfish, reach out to others.
If doubting, imagine what you can really achieve.
If rushed, calm down and put power in each action.

Let go of the old patterns, allow something new in,
balance within to see balance in your life.
Start today. Start with something small and start
with a smile. And pretty soon letting go will become second
nature.

So I hope you will join me this weekend for 30 fun exercises
that have you letting you and soaring to new heights of happiness.
