Tonight, I´m letting go of what no longer serves me. Especially my inner pain from numerous life incidents where people really hurt me. Certainly also my mistakes, my bad days, and my constant battle with anxiety.
Letting go is not the same as forgetting. I can forgive, but I never forget. Therefore, I need to let go of a box of feelings every once in a while.
I decide what I want to spend my energy on. And neither energy vampires or stupid people have anything to do here.
Letting go and moving on … There are many ways to obtain that moment in time when you first decide to say no, stop, I let go to remain sane and happy.
Every night I do this mental exercise. Every morning I get up with the sole aim to make the most of every possible situation.
In 2020, my letting go exercise is about Corona. Every evening before I go to sleep, I sigh and try to let go of everything about it. I know that only in a couple of hours, there will be more news to deal with.
It will become a sharper routine with time.
Fascinated of the old stories about wild and untamed goddesses who meant a world of difference many years ago.
What do we humans worship today?
Plastic, social status, and the brand new gadgets nobody in reality needs.
I feel a strong connection to other eras in time here on Mother Earth. It gives me the spiritual foundation that I need to let go of stories about other people that does not serve me in a positive way.
If I could have one wish granted, it would be to meet the Ancient Ones, the shamans, the medicine women and men worldwide.
I would ask to their opinion about the so-called modern world. And be ashamed of their answer.
I´m not impressed by humankind at all.
What is so difficult to understand and to take into consideration? How did we become so egoistical and self-righteous?
That the words in a poem ring so true:
“Happiness is the new rich. Inner peace is the new success. Health is the new wealth. Kindness is the new cool” (author unknown to me in present moment).
Letting go to me means to decide where to use energy and where to stay away from.
It is a slippery balance between trusting in other people and self-protection.
And in the end, it is mostly about the ability to trust yourself and your inner gut feeling about somebody or something.
Being brutally honest is my kind of shadow work.
To remain in a good mood despite that is a major victory every day. That is my main goal in life in whatever I do.
Letting go is not an easy task. But it has never been more important than in the present moment. Things happen so fast that nobody can handle it all, all the time.
So, no more news for me today, thank you. Only a happy writer and witch. Only beautiful music in my ears until this blog post is written. And only a feeling of true content with life as it is, tonight I´m free.
