Detours can come in many different forms and for each of us, they are distinct and different. Some can be brief, some can be new and exciting, others can make us just want to do nothing more than binge on pizza and watch endless reruns of Friends and The Simpsons.
My latest detour on my personal journey is about letting go. You know, letting go of big stuff like fear of trying new things and also little stuff like getting rid of old stuffed animals that hold no resemblence to what they may have looked like when they were new. Teddy bear or kitty cat? Your guess is as good as mine.
I've been on this road for some time and I'm finally at a crossroads and the road signs that meet up with it. One says "Keep Holding On to Baggage and Pointless Worry" while the other simply says "Let Go". I finally know which way I'm going to turn.
Here is to letting go of clutter, perfectionism, worry, fear, holey socks and that awful vanilla toothpaste I bought last week.
What is it that you need to let go?
Happy New Year Debbie!
I need to let go of worrying about what people will think. For a long time, I was afraid to take big steps for fear of doing it wrong, and meeting the disapproving stare of revered mentors. But now I realize that I have no control over what they think - and I won't let it stop me anymore!
Keep up the good work and here is a hearty yell of encouragement to LET GO!
