Sometimes Letting Go Just Once Is Not Enough......







Hi!


When life gets chaotic, sometimes you have to grab a bit of time, even if it's just a few hours, and vacate. Vacate and vacation. If you can't take a trip, take some time. Find the beauty close to home and soak it in.

Beauty is definitely in the eyes of the beholder. Find yours.


Letting go of everyday stresses, new hurts, old wounds, it's all hard, and sometimes letting go just once is not enough.

New events can scrape old scars, making them feel as fresh as the day they happened. Things you had forgiven long ago, that you thought were let go and forgotten, come screaming to the forefront.

You are then confronted with the task of letting them go...again.


It's hard, but for our own sake and sanity, we need to. Continually carrying the hurt gets too heavy, it weighs us down, drags us backward. When crap happens to bring it back, we have to acknowledge it for what it is, stand our ground, and slap it aside, keeping it from prohibiting our path forward.

These scrapes can seemingly come out of the blue, hitting you where and when you may least expect it. They can be hard to recognize. They can feel physical, they can cause panic and anxiety, they can be subtle. In whatever form, they will be.

The scrapes are not fatal, they are there to remind you that you are a survivor, a fighter. You let it go once, you can do it again, and again, as many times as it takes until the scrapes stop. Think about the strength and courage you had the first time you let it go. Think about how hard that was. Think about the fact that you did it anyway, and you're still here.

Maybe, for you, the scars have yet to form. Maybe, for you, the wounds are fresh. Maybe this is the first time you are letting it go, cutting it loose.

Letting go of pain and trauma isn't for the benefit of those who have inflicted it. It's for us.


Sometimes letting go just once is not enough. But that's okay, the practice is making me better.



********************************************************


May you come back from every scrape stronger than before it hit.
May you see it for what it is, stand your ground, slap it aside, never quit.

May you embrace the healing that comes from letting go.
May you see that it's within your power to rewrite your script, it's your show.

May you find it within to let go, no matter how tough.
May you see that letting go just once is not enough.
