LET GO TO GROW

Let go to grow! A simple concept. But how difficult is it? Very!! Letting go of stuff, negative thoughts, toxic people, well you get the picture. And the million dollar question?! Why do we hold onto things in our lives that weigh us down! Some things are just too laden with emotional memories. It is okay to keep some stuff- perhaps just neatly scrapbook it! But negative memories keep us from really moving on! No one does not have to forgive all the nasties in our lives! One just have to learn not to let what they did to us to keep us from growing and moving on! Famous people write memoirs! So maybe a memoir then put it on the shelf and forget about it! Some of us grew up with the adults in our lives holding on to lots of negative memories. For example, children of divorce! Getting the facts and putting them on the shelf with the memoir. Does one share stuff with everyone? No. Be careful who you trust. Often an emotional experience can be negated by the doubting nellies! So do not share! When a negative memory creeps in, learn to replace it with a present thought or event. It is just a memory! Or turn it around and be proud of all we have survived- the good, the bad and the ugly! So how did I come up with this reflective thoughts! While ironing my clothes for work today! Oh January time to purge and grow! How about you? Any thoughts? Any winter purging?
