Living the Lessons

Just Let It Go

With the world always  bringing me new things, I’ve decided that for living the lesson this week, I am going to focus on what I am letting go of…kind of like cleaning my OWN emotional house.  With all of the lessons learned from Oprah’s OWN Lifeclass, it’s time to take a few notes from OWN’s Peter Walsh and clean out some of my emotional clutter.  Here is what the list looks like today.  My reminder to just let go.  Today, I am letting go…

Letting go…

  • of stress and worry
  • of judgement
  • of all control that I don’t have
  • of feeling resentful or hurt or not appreciated
  • of advice given – good and bad
  • of others opinions
  • of negativity
  • of stressing about what I can’t control
  • of the words from little devil on my shoulder named “ego”
  • of feeling like I have to do everything all of the time
  • of wasting my time on things that waste my time
  • of rolling my eyes
  • of watching the clock
  • of trying to please others…it’s time I do things for me
  • of hanging on to bad relationships and their memories, both past and present
  • of all the bad photos I’ve ever taken
  • of unrealistic expectations I put on myself
  • of the past – my mistakes, my losses, my youth, my skinny jeans
  • of the limits that I put on myself, my dreams, my world…
  • of the weight of my OWN world that I carry each day.

Today is a new day…here in front of me, just waiting to be LIVED.  Without all of this extra stuff, I bet I can do anything! Today…is there anything that you are tired of carrying?  Well…just let it go.  Isn’t it time?
