HOW TO LET GO & GROW
I was reading some articles and here is a summary of some of them. In the next two to three days, let me cover them and give you the links to the sites.
When you have to get over it, a lot of times it feels impossible. Realize that part of what hurts is not reality. It's the pain of losing the picture you've kept creating in your own mind of how wonderful things would have been.
CHOOSE to create different pictures. Be positive and listen to positive songs such as Listen to Mariah Carey's A Hero. Always remember that pain is necessary and suffering is optional. It's always YOUR choice.
Happy people let go of old emotional baggage.
What is old emotional baggage?
Old baggage is emotional stuff we carry around with us for days, months or years. It is usually negative like old hurts, resentments, anger or some kind of pain inflicted by another person. It can also be just carrying around some old guilt, failure or fear.
Why do people hold on to all of these old feelings? Everyone moves through life with their own very personal agendas, needs and life issues. Old baggage starts to feel very comfortable after a while, so comfortable as a matter of fact many people die never able to let go of these hurts, slights and pain.
There is one very good reason to let go of all of this baggage. One of the major causes of stress today is suppressed emotions that fester in the body taking their eventual toll on some aspect of our physiology. One of the biggest causes of stress today is all of this old baggage. So why let it go? It may kill you if you don't.
