Simply, BE!

It is so important to let things go!

So many times we get caught in our own heads thinking of the things that have gone wrong in our lives or could go wrong and how we can fix/alter/correct them.

Ultimately, this just gets us caught up in the “story” (the one that we’ve dramatized or simply just keep repeating) or keeps us from seeing the beauty in what is really happening in our life.

Being someone who most would identify as being a type-A personality, I have struggled with this level of control. I tend to plan every detail of my life, I also have an invisible shield around me purposed to ward off any potential threats to my “perfect picture” by any means. However, what this behavior has caused is a lot of frustration, anxiety, fear and a hardened heart when I should be living from a place of security, peace, of sound mind and grace.

This past week I have consciously made decisions to let go and let things be. It hasn’t been the most simple thing for someone like me but I’m getting there, progress is so important. I am also learning to be more open with the people in my life so that I can receive their love and support instead of stonewalling/doing everything on my own. It has felt better knowing that there are people who care and that most times the things that I hold on to as a way to protect myself will actually be much more freeing if I “let go”!

Many of the concerns or worries that I had or have typically only do more harm than good, in the grand scheme of things. So, I’m taking things one day at a time, learning how to forgive quicker and not being so easily offended. I believe that we all have such a bigger purpose, we are meant to thrive!! Being bogged down by weight that was never intended for us to carry, shol ain’t thriving.

I hope that this reflection speaks to you!

Love,
