Let Go

What are you attached to? Are you attached to a person, things, places or experiences. As we have become a society with easy access to anything we want, it seems we have become less skilled with letting go.

Online dating has made getting a date and replacing the last within minutes simple, yet I see couples still going backwards and holding on to an unhealthy relationship. We have stores that are practically giving away their stuff at prices anyone can save up to attain things. Yet, we are seeing shows like hoarders and storage wars holding onto things instead of replacing. We have the ability to travel and make healthy changes in our lives and careers, yet we are unable to move from our comfort zone and familiar environments.

Why do we have such a hard time letting go? If you attach yourself to anything, it will feel like a part of you. So when the time comes that it is no longer serving your highest good and its time to let go, you feel like your loosing a part of yourself. When you know its best to let go and grow, but you instead see yourself doing the opposite and self sabotaging the growth that comes from letting go.

When we lack balance in body/mind/spirit, it shows in our attachments. You start looking outside yourself to get fulfillment and yet you are unfulfilled no matter how much you aquire.

Attachment to things is different from deserving things. Deserving is working hard to achieve or acquire something new. Attachment is not letting it go after we have outgrown it. The twin bed you slept in at 6 is obviously not what is needed at 36. The same applies to the rest of life.

There it is, energetically, emotionally and physically you out grow things. Relationships that last are because each person is continually growing so they grow together. Things that at one time may have given you satisfaction, may no longer. A job that use to fulfill you, may now be boring. Take responsibility for your growth. If you are growing mentally, physically and spiritually, you will have to master the skill of letting go. Letting go is your measurement tool for how much you have grown. Its important for your continuous growth.
