I know you’ve heard the expression, “Let it go!” When this is said, it usually means that someone is hanging on to something that is emotionally toxic. Anger. Sadness. Frustration.
Our ability to “let things go” directly correlates to our ability to move forward. Hanging on to stuff hangs you in the past. So the sooner you can deal with these issues that are hangin’ you up, the sooner you can pursue your new success.
OK. Easier said than done. Some things are true challenges.
But there are some that aren’t. it is the little stuff. How many stupid little things are you harboring that keep you from thinking clearly or making progress? Chances are that each of us has several of these. Just think about how you might feel if you clear just those out of your emotional bank?!
–An upsetting comment you overheard
–Not being invited to a party
–A less than kind email you read
–Not being thanked for something you gave or did
–Unfair distribution of work
–Undeserving praise to another
The list can go on and on. Think about it. W
hat little stuff is hanging you up?
Write those things down. Look at the list. Then take the list and throw it away. Tell yourself you’ve let those stupid little things go.
There. NOW, how do you feel?
