“Angels have the ability to fly because they take themselves lightly.” ~ Author Unknown
Good Morning!
As we move through our days, we are often consumed by some issue or crisis and it becomes a weight on our shoulders. What might be a “little thing” becomes a “big thing” because we make it so. Our ability to let go is weak, while our ability to blame ourselves (or someone else) is strong.
A few years ago, I was going through a difficult situation with some very negative people. I couldn’t understand why they were doing some of the things they were doing. I found myself “wound tight” about their behavior and analyzing it with others in search of an explanation. I quickly realized that discussing or analyzing their behavior was
a drain on my energy and the person I was talking with. The situation was beyond our control, and instead of “letting go” we were “holding on” by feeding it with our time and energy.
Shortly after that, I realized that I had two choices: (1) Continue discussing it with others, draining my energy (and theirs!) and losing ground in moving forward with what matters; or (2) Make a conscious decision to “let go” and focus on something positive where I could make a difference.
I chose to let go. It wasn’t easy. Sometimes I found my mind drifting back to the negative situation, or staying awake at night worrying about it. Continually, over and over, I had to remind myself - “LET GO!” The more I reminded myself to let go, the more able I was to do so. I found that the more I let go of the negative, the more
space I created for living the positive.
Your Turn: As you go throughout your day, treat your energy and thoughts like gold. Before you invest time and energy into a situation, ask yourself, “Does this truly matter?” If the answer is no, make the conscious choice to
“let go” and focus on something positive in its place.
Today’s Affirmation: I turn away from the negative and put positive in its place.
And as always, don't forget to start your day with a heartfelt: "Something great is going to happen today... I can't wait to see what it is!"
And when ending your day ask yourself: "What is one more thing I can do to make today matter?
