When it is time to let go you are leaving your comfort zone in order to adopt new ways, ideas, people, and interests that will help you create new thinking patterns and bring the changes that are necessary for your growth and development. Letting go of old hindering ways is a very difficult step, but one we encourage each dear soul to embrace as it does get easier with each step.

It is up to each person how difficult letting go of old ways will be. Fear is the biggest hindrance that causes the greatest pain and discomfort. Letting go of past events, grudges, old concepts, etc., can be as easy as taking off an old tattered sweater in favour of a newer one that is bright and fresh. Even if you manage to calm your thoughts during the transformational process of letting go, discomfort of some level is part of the process. When you feel discomfort, feel tired and achy from within that is not caused by any physical ailment you know you are heading towards change – you are entering a new phase of your journey and once the discomfort leaves, you find you are thinking clearer, seeing with fresh eyes and your energy is vibrant.
Because of the possibility of facing old fears that have been buried or old wounds that you have clung to for so long, letting go can be an extremely frightening experience, and it is one that many dear souls begin, but when the pain rises they quit instead of working through the pain. We know you have hung on to some painful memories of situations that were not very healthy or good, they have caused misery and are still there taking a bit of your precious energy bit by bit until you gather the courage that your heart provides you and face those memories for what they are because you are no longer living in the past. What happened then is done and gone. Let it go, see the future not as frightening but promising of a new day. Know that God walks with you through every experience and when called upon, He will shine His Light illuminating a path that will lead you out of the shadows and back to the present, embracing all that life has to offer you enthusiastically and with love.
When you let go of the old, regardless of what the old is, it is true you do not know what the future will be, you do not know how other people will feel towards your changes and you will not know how your own feelings will be like the next day or the next few weeks, months or years, but what you will know is that it is you are in charge of your feelings and when you become aware of a negative thought, you have the ability to change this negative thought that is trying to pull you away from re-creating yourself – a new self that is filled with new concepts, self-love, self-respect and equal love and respect for those you may encounter. For all the letting go you do, you become that much wiser.
Letting go of the past is something that requires you to be completely aware, it is not something you do just to pass the time, and it is a huge step in your development both spiritually and personally. Celebrate the newness you are embracing over the past that you have agreed to let go. Take time to truly reflect and investigate what it is you need to keep and what is no longer needed. Work out the details, taking as much time as needed, after all when you let go, that part that you have agreed is no longer working for you becomes dead and you give birth to new ideas, new concepts that is for the betterment of all. No one can fix the past or undo the damage that was done and no one can let go for you. This is a grand journey of self-discovery, where you will find your true authentic self and after some time learning all the things that you love, you might discover how much you love yourself. Giving yourself love is one of the greatest gifts you give that will promote a deeper healing as you move through the various stages of letting go that will deliver you to freedom.
As you celebrate all that you have let go, remember to be good to your whole self. When you let go, balancing is necessary in order to bring back harmony into every aspect of you. As you move throughout your day try to separate what is important from what is not important, it will keep you busy and will provide you with a lot of information on your own thinking process and you will become more aware of why change is necessary and healthful. When you are thinking positively and healthy your body follows suit, so if your mind is still filled with anguish, turmoil and other negative thoughts and emotions from old situations you create an opening for dis-ease to enter. We know it can be hard to be conscious of your thoughts all the time because your day is busy and you become distracted, but with practice you will become more wary of your thoughts and when a negative one enters you have the choice of allowing it to stay or to change that negative thought to a thought of peace, of forgiveness, of love, of other good feelings that will help to maintain your alignment with God in order to receive his penetrating Light and Love that will speed up the healing process that is needed.
We know each of you want a better tomorrow, a future that doesn’t include a painful and disturbing past, but first dear ones you must let the past go. Make room for the future, by letting go of the emotional and mental pain that has been attached to an old memory, give your over-thinking mind freedom from those events and allow new directions to unfold for you to take.
Part of letting go, is ridding yourself of fears, resentments, negative expressions such as shoulds, oughts, must-do’s, have-to’s. As you let go, you learn what it is you want to do and it not something forced, it is a knowing found from uncovering all that you have kept hidden. We know you have carried what you should have done, or what you should do, ought to do, what you have to do, or must do for a very long time and these mental friends are truly no friends at all. Many times they hide, but over time they become known through the words your speak and by the actions you take. Be honest with yourself dear ones. Come to know who you are from the inside, revel in what you discover because you are golden from the inside out.
What we have witnessed during the process of letting go is that some dear souls use affirmations when they find themselves struggling. They are conscious of their thoughts but need a little extra support and affirmations help them get over the little bumps that occur during the time of letting the old go. The affirmation does not change anything by itself, but what the affirmation does is promote positive thoughts and feelings to take the place of the uncertain ones that are grown out of doubt and fear. Affirmations do not need to be long and complex; a simple affirmation is all that is needed to help change the thought process that goes on when you are learning to let the old ways, concepts and ideas go.
It is so easy to become distracted by what another dear soul is doing along their journey but we encourage you to remain focused on what you are doing. Remind yourself their path is theirs and yours is yours. If you are drawn to compare yourself you will attract unhappiness and you are on the road to recovery and rebirth from all the old unneeded ways you are learning to let go. We want you to be happier, to feel beautiful not from the outside but from the inside, we want to you see you confident and determined to make the best possible choices without the pain from the past lingering, creating doubt or eventual stagnation.
Letting of the past and of old ways is another great reason to strengthen your connection with God. Ask Him for guidance and support and trust He will be there. He will accept what you are releasing that you have hung on to for so long and replace those old ideas, feelings and concepts with love and His love will provide the healing needed to fuel your own power to find new directions, new friends, new ideas and so forth.
Don’t allow excuses to be the cause of your inability to let go and to embrace new directions. Understand dear ones excuses disempower you. Instead of making excuses for not doing something you know is good for you, take responsibility for your whole life. Taking responsibility for any event that you were part of will empower you, infuse you with fresh energy to bring in the changes that will help create the life you wish to see, but remember you need to do some letting go first. It does take time to change behaviours, feelings and other concepts that you have allowed over time to manifest. Give yourself the room needed to grow and expect some growing pains, they are part of the process and they are telling signs that you are on the right path. After the pain there is relief, satisfaction, happiness, peace and so much more. You are constantly growing each and every day, but in order for great growth to stay and keep moving you forward, you are also letting something old and no longer useful go.
As you go through the steps of re-creating your journey after you let go of baggage that was weighing you down, accept all the Love that God is surrounding you and filling you with. Don’t push Him away, embrace Him; find comfort in His presence. Through God’s unfailing presence you will come to know and accept that Grace is your birthright. No matter what path you have taken to get where you are, God loves you just the same and through the love that He shines through you, you are enabled to live by grace in all you do without the struggling to hang on to old wounds of the past. Strive forward, free of the pain from events of a time long passed.
Comprehend that letting go is a process that you will undertake more than once in your life. It is not something that you do once, and never again. You will stumble across areas of your journey that are difficult and restraining and they will require you to look further for the reason. Letting go dear ones, is an ongoing process, one that allows you to accept more of who you are by letting go more of what you are no longer. You are not your past; you are your Present that is making a step each day towards the future. Relax and enjoy the journey, celebrate the process of learning who you truly are, truthfully and honestly by releasing all the old pain and ways that have prevented you from growing in the ways you truly wished. When you let go of what was holding you back of your own growth and development, you open the gates to so many golden opportunities that will enhance your life is many wondrous and incredible ways.
