Letting Go, Simplifying, Learning not to hold on to things I don't need or want in my life, so that I have more room for those things that I truly do!
Letting go of the over accumulation of "things" I have piled up in various places (attention basement!!!) in my home that do not get used and both consciously and unconsciously zap my energy.
Letting go of thoughts and fears that I have no control over and are affecting my well being... THIS is tough for me, I am a thinker and concocter of great tales and sometimes have difficulty in reining in my imagination.
Letting go of expectations that don't mean something real to me and the person God created me to be.
This last year has been a crazy one to say the least! I made it through massage school, which was so good for me in so many ways, but also very stressful with the work load, having 2 young children and babysitting full time for 7 months of it! Then to top it all off my husband and I had been having a hard time the last couple years and as a last ditch effort to wake the dead, I filed for separation during the last month of school! Whew!! As I'm writing this I can hardly remember how I made it through! I am thankful to The Lord for loving me enough to shower his love and compassion on me despite myself!!
Things are going much better now! I had thought my marriage was over, but through prayer and a WHOLE LOT of forgiveness and love it is steadily growing better day by day. I have learned so many, many things in this last year, on a very deep level!
1) We should really never judge ANYONE, because we may very well find ourselves in that same situation one day and understand them more than ever! And sometimes the people we judge most harshly will oddly turn out to be the most compassionate.
2) Forgive people especially when it's really hard! It really does hurt you more than them to stay angry, but don't be fake about it and remember the things for which you have been forgiven!
Just a couple of the many things I learned this last year! :)
As far as health is concerned I have been very good and I have been very bad this last year!! I went through a months where I was a juicing, mostly raw eating machine who was glowing and healthy, to the girl at her lowest place of eating unhealthful, alcohol and coffee drinking, smoking in the midst of a turbulent inner storm.............to again juicing and eating very healthfully, exercising, deep breathing and most importantly praying and growing closer to God again day by day! Making better choices Living, Loving, and Learning to LET GO!:)
