Even if you are not angry, stressed, or frustrated right now,
you have been in the past.
Those past negative emotions are “stored” in the major organs of your body.
Its time to breathe out these negative emotions.
Breathe in deeply and slowly through your nose
…now…
Breathe out through your mouth making the sound “sshhh” all the way until the end of the breath.
This is an ancient form of detox that works on both the emotional and physical levels. It will not only release stored negative emotions, but it will calm down your mind and all its chatter.
It’s the fall season.
Look at the trees as the leaves change colors.
It’s an entire process.
Part of that process is that some leaves fall before others.
All the leaves don’t fall at the same time.
Some hold on until the very end. They let go when it’s their time to let go.
Sometimes you need to continue to hold on until it is time to let go.
If you let go too soon you’ll look back, you’ll have regrets, you’ll wonder if you did the right thing.
Sometimes holding on until you’re pretty sure, is the best course to take in certain situations.
(The below is an Alabama Shakes song , she’s singing about holding on until something changes…not necessarily to hold on, then let go…but you get the point, right?)
MY DEAD FRIENDS by Marie Howe
I have begun,
when I’m weary and can’t decide an answer to a bewildering question
to ask my dead friends for their opinion
and the answer is often immediate and clear.
Should I take the job? Move to the city? Should I try to conceive a child
in my middle age?
They stand in unison shaking their heads and smiling-whatever leads
to joy, they always answer, to more life and less worry.
I look into the vase where Billy’s ashes where it’s green in there, a green vase,
and I ask Billy if I should return the difficult phone call, and he says, yes.
Billy’s already gone through the frightening door, whatever he says I’ll do.

You are not walking this journey alone. Your ancestors walk with you.
The wisdom of the future is contained in the mind, hearts and souls of the past.
YOU have the Know-How, YOU’VE developed great skills, YOU’VE Prepared Yourself
Have the courage to let go of that voice of fear that’s in your head.
Yes, there is a process to letting go.
Yes, you need to be determined in order to change.
Yes, you need to find encouragement somewhere and somehow for your efforts.
Yes, you need to release the past, so that the future that wants to emerge, can come forth.
Yes, it might have been a hard life so far. There have been ups and downs, but don’t be afraid to die…die to who you are…die to what is holding you back.
We all know how the story of life ends.
It ends in death.
One day your life will be over.
You as you know yourself will be gone.
It’s something we all will experience,
but none of us have experienced it.
Do you need to make a turning point?
Did you need to Let Go of Something or Someone?
Can you just keep on going down the road that you know is miserable and not bringing you joy?
Are you Afraid of Letting Go?
The Choice is yours.
Life is just Series of Choices.
Remember you already know how the story ends.
It ends in death,
so LIVE a life that matters.
Live a life that makes a difference while you are still able.
Be Grateful even if things aren’t working out like you hoped.
Be Grateful first thing in the morning…even if you don’t want to face the day and all you think it will bring.
Be Grateful that…this too shall end.
Just live in a space of gratitude. Why not? Being Miserable….is a miserable way to live.
Be Grateful.
