Do you ever feel as if you take 2 steps forward and one step back?   I know I do...


Some days life is absolutely great and you feel as if you are flying, moving forward... Then BAM.... something turns up to turn your life upside down.  What do you do when these times hit?   Do you stop and worry?  Do you get upset and angry?   


These emotions are fine, if you can can acknowledge them and no it is ok to feel like that.  What is not ok is to let those feelings dominate you.... You have to be be still, feel yourself and what is happening inside you... Stop and breathe, relax, feel every breath that goes into your body, feel the tension and pent up e motions slowly  but surely dispersing and  leaving your body.  AS these feeling leave your body, feel the new life and blessing entering... 


I know it sounds so easy, But I know for me that it is not always easy that I have to work hard at the letting go... Hanging on to those old feelings feels safe, it is like a security blanket, or old coat that we have known for years... It might look ugly but it feels comfortable.  The new coat is just not the same...


Yet as we let go of the old and embrace the new we start to feel more comfortable with the new coat.  It starts to become part of us.  My Question is do you want the new coat or are you happy with the old??


If you like the old then so be it, but don't complain when things may not be as you wish.... If you want the new coat then reach out for it, take it, embrace it.  Let is sit on your shoulders and wrap you up. Let yourself feel how wonderful and cozy the new is... Say thank you for the new, ask to be shown how to wear the new, how to move with the new.  It is all up to you, how you feel and what you will accept...


If someone is not sitting right with you, talk to them about what is going on, if they don't hear you then you have to decide if that person is still needed in your life... The letting go and cleaning out the old, always makes room for the new.  I know that it is sometimes painful to let go of the old, to let go of people who no longer serve you highest good, yet when we do let go and accept that we are on a journey and it is our journey and people come and go, it may not be easier to let them go, but you understand that relationships of all sorts are for giving and receiving, teaching and learning.  When the lesson has been learnt it is time to move on...


Are you stuck or are you moving on?
