I'm learning to let go of the things I'm not.

I'm paying attention to my own behavior and when I say or do something that's not in line with my core values as a human, I get the choice today to change things.

Sometimes it's just getting to show up as myself.

It's still my responsibility to recognize it in myself and do the work to change my thoughts and beliefs about me.

I think the tricky part is getting those fears to come out of their sneaky little hiding places.

Sure hungry bears, bumps in the night and heights are obvious but I'm talking about the ones that stay hidden under degrees, car payments and too much makeup.

This is the work but gloriously freeing. I'll take it.

360 degrees of inspiration ( full circle)

Don’t forget it, forgive it.

All entwined in the process of healing, letting go, and inner peace, self-forgiveness is key. It is here, in the forgiveness process, transformation begins.

More often than not, our pain is tied to an underlying guilt we have put on ourselves. The one that says, “why did I allow that to happen?” So, talk it out.

Regardless of the why, it did happen and there is nothing we can do about it except love ourselves, forgive ourselves and carry on.

But so many troubled souls cling to pain because it has value, meaning; it’s familiar and they know how to live with it. They can’t let it go, let it be, because they feel this unconscious burden that has hovered for years.

I understand that breaking that chain of remorse is a tough one, start with the questions. Why do I feel like this? What is the purpose?
Soon you will find there isn’t one sane reason to suffer and carry that load.
Now…
Forgive it.

You never know how strong you are until you have let go on the heaviness you have carried…

So it is, let it be.

That depression and sadness was weather that I was told was me.

That anxiety and fear was weather that I was told was me.

That failure was weather that I was told was me.

All of those things were part of me but they do not define WHO I am.

It's a diversionary tactic of the ego. If I can focus on you then I don't have to look at myself.

If I'm in your business then I'm not working on my own.
