When your life falls apart, there is always the impulse to hold on: To him, to her, to it; to the way it was, to how you wanted it to be, to how you want it now! But in order to get through a crisis, you will have to let go of whatever is standing in your way... P. 69 from 10 Things To Do When Your Life Falls Apart
Finally, at 40-ish, I am willing to let go! I am ready to let go of all the cycles & patterns of self-sabotaging behavior that no longer serves me! I am now ready to let go of folks & situations that drain me, & finally, I am ready to let go of my own ongoing need to strive & struggle against the natural flow of life. I am ready to flow!
How do we let go? Anyway you can! Get help-- solicit friends & family (the ones you want to keep, do whatever you have to to begin something new; to start afresh! Take a deep breath & with each exhale... Let go! Per author, Daphne Rose Kingma of 10 Things, "We're on our way to somewhere else. Why be bogged down with fourteen irrelevant people, two tons of junk, & a brain full of worry? When, really, you're just practicing to be part of an intergalactic light stream of love. Don't hang on. It's hard to fly with bags of concrete tied to your feet. Let go! Let go! Let go!"
