Confession #34: It's hard to "Let It Go", Part 2

In my last post, I talked about how hard it often is to let go of painful memories from the past. Well, that's just one of many things that I need to let go of, and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who has a lot of things they need to let go of. One thing a lot of people have trouble letting go of are past regrets or past guilt. And with a new year approaching soon (yeah I know, we still have Christmas, but hey, that's next week, so... yeah, 2014 is basically right around the corner) I always like to try and start the new year off with a clean slate and a game plan for how I want to improve myself to become a better person. I found this on Facebook and after reading through it, I have found there is a lot on this list that I want to try and accomplish for the new year. I decided to highlight all the things I want to work on (which is basically all of them, haha!) but this is a great list that I just wanted to share with everyone. Yeah, I probably won't be able to make all of these changes in 2014; a lot of these things are life-long changes we make as we go along and learn more about ourselves, but, it's a good place to start for new year's resolutions. I will post again before Christmas, and of course I'll write a post after Christmas, but then I think I'll just stick to my Youtube channel until New Years Eve. Until next time, my fellow readers!

Here are 20 things to let go of in order to reach unlimited happiness.

1. Let go of all thoughts that don't make you feel empowered and strong. 

2. Let go of feeling guilty for doing what you truly want to do. 

3. Let go of the fear of the unknown; take one small step and watch the path reveal itself.

4. Let go of regrets; at one point in your life, that “whatever” was exactly what you wanted. 

5. Let go of worrying; worrying is like praying for what you don’t want.

6. Let go of blaming anyone for anything; be accountable for your own life. If you don’t like something, you have two choices, accept it or change it.

7. Let go of thinking you are damaged; you matter, and the world needs you just as you are.

8. Let go of thinking your dreams are not important; always follow your heart.

9. Let go of being the “go-to person” for everyone, all the time; stop blowing yourself off and take care of yourself first … because you matter. 

10. Let go of thinking everyone else is happier, more successful or better off than you. You are right where you need to be. Your journey is unfolding perfectly for you. 

11. Let go of thinking there's a right and wrong way to do things or to see the world. Enjoy the contrast and celebrate the diversity and richness of life.

12. Let go of cheating on your future with your past. It’s time to move on and tell a new story. 

13. Let go of thinking you are not where you should be. You are right where you need to be to get to where you want to go, so start asking yourself where you want to go. 

14. Let go of anger toward ex lovers and family. We all deserve happiness and love; just because it is over doesn’t mean the love was wrong. 

15. Let go of the need to do more and be more; for today, you've done the best you can, and that's enough. 

16. Let go of thinking you have to know how to make it happen; we learn the way on the way. 

17. Let go of your money woes — make a plan to pay off debt and focus on your abundance.

18. Let go of trying to save or change people. Everyone has her own path, and the best thing you can do is work on yourself and stop focusing on others. 

19. Let go of trying to fit in and be accepted by everyone. Your uniqueness is what makes you outstanding. 

20. Let go of self-hate. You are not the shape of your body or the number on the scale. Who you are matters, and the world needs you as you are. Celebrate you!
