Letting Go
A few reasons something may no longer serve you:
▪️Maybe this particular thing never really did serve you, but you didn’t realize it.
▫️It’s common to adopt beliefs and habits and goals and roles as our own because they seem familiar. Because we grew up with them.
▪️You may have a whole set of big, overarching, lifelong goals that - maybe - you’ve never spoken out loud, but you are chasing somehow. They’re in your head, telling you when you’ve missed the mark when you’ve fallen short.
▫️You may have a whole set of fears and corresponding defense mechanisms, too. Maybe they were relevant at one time. Are they, still?
▪️Maybe this particular thing served you once, but you have changed focus, you’re going in a new direction, and it is no longer helpful.
▫️Maybe it’s something you thought you wanted or needed, but once you got it, Surprise! It wasn’t at all what you thought.
▪️Maybe it was a limited-time item. Like fresh produce. You enjoyed it and benefited from it in the season, but now… It’s old. Rotten. No longer enjoyable or healthy. Time to let it go.
