Let it go

We hear it all the time, I have written about it already and yet I feel it necessary to keep writing about it for myself and others.

Sometimes we do not even notice that we have been holding on to a lot of baggage from the past. So we get upset, angry and frustrated and wonder where this is coming from. Was it really the rude woman who pushed you on the platform? Is what your boyfriend saying really that bad? Why are you so upset? 

But...this is who I am
Yes! The way we behave is part of who we are. I am sure you have heard or even said yourself "Well that is just how I am". Of course it is but just because we choose to be angry, hurtful etc it doesn't mean that's how we should stay. We are choosing it to be who we are. We have other qualities that makes us US too. Think about the qualities you want to have to better your life and what it would mean to you and others if you chose love instead of hate. Yes it's bloody hard when we are pissed off and life has thrown some ridiculous obstacles in our way. But why don't we grow up and do what we gotta do to make our state of mind, life and relationships better. This advice is not rocket science yet it is so hard for us to take and implement in our lives. Let's do this peeps! Kick out those thoughts, events or behaviours you just do not want to have in your life. Cherish your space and what you put in it and give it more love and care. 

NOTE TO SELF: Acknowledge what happened and how you feel. Feel it. Now ask yourself: Is this how I want to feel everyday? 

If you choose to break free tell yourself that you are done with being angry, hateful, annoyed, frustrated and start visualising the essence of who you want to be. Close your eyes, breath and listen and feel yourself breathing. Feel your body relax and know that nothing can harm your state of mind because you are in charge. Love yourself, pour love into your being, think of loving moments and smile. Smile, smile, smile, smile, smile...

This exercise or any other relaxation technique should be repeated in order for you to feel relaxed and more balanced. When repeated it will begin to feel more natural to you and will become a part of you. Hopefully it will be something you can tap in to when things get a little too much and you forget how to let things go.
