New Years resolution: Letting Go

Letting go is a hard thing to do in any given situation. This past decade I’ve had a lot of different experiences that challenged me mentally and emotionally. There was a lot of personal battles for me that I eventually learned from and made me the woman I am today. But one thing that always linger in my mind is the concept of letting go.

I made this my mission not only for this year but for the rest of this decade because there were times, I wasn’t brave enough in speaking my mind that it resulted in it being the back of my mind. Also, some experiences that still come up time to time that I want to let go of properly and I haven’t been able to. So, I want to change that- I want to work on letting go and move forward properly.  

Letting go is very hard- for me at least. You try, try, try but these battles still bother you. You have to think for yourself what is always the first step. Yes, we may go through different things, but you will be surprised that you are not alone in that. Going through these mental battles, I learned that talking it out is always the first step. It took me a while to understand that it was part of the healing process because I don’t speak up like I should. Why? There are two reasons, either I’m afraid of what people might say and not wanting to bother people with my problems

I’m grateful to have people I can turn to when things get bad or even when I want to speak up about something bothering me. There are still things I want to tell people and I hope I find the courage to say it. Also, be able to let go properly. Also, in trying to take that first step like I want to.

I wanted to mention this brain dump because I know to some people find it hard to let go of many situations and hard to speak up to friends and family. But gaining the courage and wanting to try that first step of letting go, now that’s bravery. I applaud all of you in wanting that positivity for this new year. I hope that this new year you can learn to let go and live for the future. What are other ways you guys learn to let go?
