let it go

Let it go.

Money, let it go.

Competition, let it go.

Arrogant retorts and remarks, let it go.

Annoying emails, let it go.

Fleeting passion and romance, let it go.

Insults, let it go.

Untidiness on the dining table, let it go.

Pride, let it go.

Networking events – and missing them, let it go…..

 

None of the above will kill me.

Focus on my interests.

Do what makes me smile and giggle.

Take a bubble bath.

React and feel my emotions, but do not let emotions imprison me.

Enjoy life. Enjoy simply being alive.

Smile

 

Let it all go.

 

Be me.

    there is a meditation where you sit and observe your mind, saying Yes to everything. just name what comes up and say Yes to it. breathe into it and breathe it out.
    oh shes thinner than me…jealousy…Yes to that, yes to that. breathe out.
    im so excited about tomorrow! positivity, foreshadowing tomorrow, Yes to that, breathe out.
    i hate myself. sadness, shame, anger…Yes, sadness, breathe out.

    after you have said Yes to everything you can feel the peaceful space below it, where everything feels natural and right and you are eternally safe. it feels like coming home 🙂
    just thought i would share! i have loved doing this meditation.

      Hi Delilah, that’s a great meditative chant. breathe in and breathe out. i’m learning how to control my breathing too, and feel the peace. i find it a lot through calligraphy, just letting the ink spread out on the paper, breahhe in breathe out 🙂
      thanks for sharing so much of your thoughts on my blog. I really appreciate it!

    Last weekend I went to my friend’s home for Christmas dinner. Of course, Christmas songs play in the background. I heard the familiar lyrics: “So this is Christmas, and what have you done? Another year over, another just begun…” And I had a sudden moment of disappointment at myself. Indeed, what had I done this…
