Apparently it is!
Lots can accumulate over a couple of years. One thing that's for sure? There's no going back to the way it was. It's kind of like trying to put the toothpaste back in the tube after you've squeezed it...it's nearly impossible, and it's messy!
Time for some spring cleaning!
Letting go of things that just don't work anymore. Taking stock. Cost vs. worth. Weighing in.
What's at the back of your closet that you're ready to take a final look at? Something you've been hanging on to that you are now ready to release. It doesn't have to be something big, just something that has been "niggling" at you and perhaps taking up a little more bandwidth then you'd like it to.
Think of that thing now.
That brain of yours has a sneaky way of sending you something right when you need it, and not necessarily something you've thought of in a while.
Thinking of your particular situation now, here's some perspective for you to consider when you're holding on to something:
Letting go is not the same as giving up. Read that again. Letting go often results in a feeling of "lightness" whereas giving up can result in a feeling of "defeat". They are different.
Being ready to let go of something is a big decision. There must be a good reason why you've hung onto it this long. Letting go means saying I'm ready to move on, whatever that means for you in this moment. Maybe it is an attitude, or a way of thinking, that is creating an obstacle for you? Perhaps you are hanging on to a relationship that you have outgrown, a job that has run its course for you or, it could literally be a material, tangible thing. Could it be a situation that's truly beyond your control?
Whatever popped up for you came up for a reason. Ask yourself. What can I choose to let go of in this situation?
By letting something go, you open up space for something else to come in. Maybe an idea or a perspective that you haven’t considered in a while, or perhaps it's opening up space to explore something completely new. Take some time right now to let something bubble to the surface for you.
That thing. What if you had space to let that in? What could be different for you?
There are going to be situations in your life that you wish were different and, you cannot change them. Letting go of your expectations and embracing how it is rather than how you think it should be, is freeing.
So think about that thing now. What becomes available to you when you let this thing go?
Is "hanging on" to something getting in the way of your performance? Contact me One thing that's become increasingly clear to me? Going it alone is not ideal.
Stay safe and well.
Cheers,
