Good morning! I found today's
quote in an email signature from Donna. As we move through our days we
are often consumed by some issue or crisis and it becomes a weight on
our shoulders. What might be a "little thing" becomes a "big thing"
because we make it so. Our ability to "let go" is weak, while our
ability to "blame ourselves" (or someone else) is strong.
A number of
years ago I was going through a difficult situation with some very
negative people. I couldn't understand why they were doing some of the
things they were doing. I found myself "wound
tight" about their behavior and analyzing it with others in search of an explanation. I quickly realized that discussing or analyzing their behavior was a drain of my energy and the person I was talking with. The situation was beyond our control and instead of "letting go" we were "holding on" by feeding it with our time and energy. Shortly after
that I realized I had two choices (1) Continue discussing it with
others, drain my energy (and theirs!) and lose ground in moving forward
with what matters, or (2) Make a conscious decision to "let go" and
focus on something positive where I could make a difference.
I chose to let
go. It wasn't easy. Sometimes I found my mind drifting back to the
negative situation or it would keep me up at night. I continually, over
an over, had to remind myself -- "LET GO!" The more I reminded myself
to let go, the more able I was to do so. I found that the more I let go
of the negative, the more space I created for living the positive.
Your
Turn:
As you go throughout your day treat your energy and thoughts like gold. Before you invest time and energy into a situation ask yourself, "Does this truly matter?" If the answer is no, make the conscious choice to "let go" and focus on something positive in its place. Your
Affirmation:
I turn away from the negative and put positive in its place. | |||||||
