5 Ways to "Let Go" today!
"I realize there's something incredibly honest about trees in winter, how they're experts at letting things go.”
With the end of the year fast approaching, this week would be an ideal time to reflect on the year that has passed and understand that life only moves in one direction - Forward. Nothing is as painful as staying stuck where you don't belong.
Below are few ways to step out and start "quitting" the things that no longer serve you and focus on what really matters in life.
1. LEARN FROM THE 'HIGH- PERFORMERS".
It takes a high level of psychological courage to admit we are in the 'wrong' thing. There is a thin line between 'High performers' and 'Quitters' ; quitters just quit because they think its difficult and its hardship, but high performers quit because they understand what matters to them and are willing to let go what is not right 'enough' for them. If its not right for your heart and soul, cut ties. Period.
2. "BE BETTER WITH THE 'UNKNOWN' THAN THE 'KNOWN THAT'S MISERABLE".
Courage is something which might bring Fear but its important to get comfortable with the unknown than being uncomfortable with the known. When you find yourself 'Miserable', you know its time to quit.
3. "QUIT THE ENERGY VAMPIRES".
Its so important to surround yourself with people who energizes you and wants you to grow wholeheartedly. We all know that the ultimate goal of life is - Growth and Contribution, and at any point if you feel resistant doing so, understand there is something not right.
Quit the naysayers and that resistant energy which no longer serves you. People do not have to utter words of negativity, you can simply feel their vibes/presence even if they are far off. It takes guts to recognize that and when you do, walk away from that zone.
4. LET GO OF THE "NOT YET".
Let go of the 'not yet' and anything which is not relevant anymore in your life now. There might be so many skills that we possess and we may not use them anymore at this stage of our life at work..it would surely have been useful at one stage of our life but those skills that were relevant then, may not be relevant anymore now. Its not something wrong with it, but its just that it is not right 'enough' for us at this stage of our lives. We sometimes have to let go off that skill or a thing, so that we can focus on our next level of contribution.
The people who were right for us years ago, may not be right for us anymore and this could be in any area of our lives - be it business, personal life or relationship. Release those who are "not ready". Life is too short for the "Not Yet".
"Sometimes it’s better to end something and try to start something new than imprison yourself in hoping for the impossible".
5. TRUST YOUR INSTINCT.
Your interior wisdom knows more than your 'reasoning' mind. If something doesn't feel right, then we need to have the discipline to take action on it and move on if it doesn't serve you anymore.
If something doesn't feel right; please don't ignore that little voice inside you which is actually trying to guide you to your well deserved destiny!
Wishing you and your loved ones a great and expansive New Year!!
Lots of love.. :)
