Time to let go...

...of an old belief about yourself, an old reaction, thought pattern, you name it!

Today I got to tick a box that’s been taking up space in my being for some time, no actually for a very long time. It wasn’t a big thing, still it’s been there reminding me that I should do something about it. Every time it popped up in my mind, it brought a sense of guilt or maybe more procrastination vibes. I knew I was going to have to deal with it at some point but kept pushing it, living with me rent-free.

I know that most of us carry around things we could/should deal with on and off, but we don’t. Some more some less, some easy some that creates distress. No matter the size, they take up space in our energy and thoughts that we can use to something far more uplifting. Also when that list gets longer, it doesn’t matter how small each issue are in size, the list in itself will have big energy drainage.

In 2017 I moved from Stockholm to Gothenburg. I didn’t know for how long so I put all my stuff in a storage. I’ve known for awhile that I will probably not move back to Stockholm and wanted to move it to a storage here. So I’ve been having that thought ever since then, not taking any action on it.

Then in 2020 my loving sister passed away and some time after her husband asked if I wanted a box of things. Off course I did but I’m living on an island with no cars, so I asked if it was okay to keep it until I had shifted my storage to Gothenburg.

Now the idea of shifting my storage and how to do it started to grow and take up space in my being. Not as a problem but still it was occupying space together with some uncomfortable feelings that I wasn’t doing anything about it.

Then life steps in and pushes you! For me it was the storage in Stockholm that send me a message that they were going to close and I had to shift my stuff before March this year.

Now I had no choice, action was needed. To shift it to another storage in Stockholm made no sense. With some focus and google in a short time I found a place, a reasonable moving firm to transport it, leaving me wondering what the blockage was and why I hadn’t taken action earlier. But that’s life, some things gets on that to-do list and then stays for a long time. By staying there again taking up space and energy.

Today I met my late sisters husband with the box that we put into my new storage and both shared how good it felt to do this. It had been on his list as well and now he could also cross it out.

Now as it happens the energy this week is here to help us let go of things that we no longer vibe with. It could be something on your to-do list like my story. Or it could be an old belief about yourself, something you no longer resonate with but still carry with you. Maybe this is the week you start telling yourself a new story about yourself. One that resonates with your heart and soul and fills you will joy and peace.

It feels so good to let those energy thieves go, no matter if they are small or big, easy or hard. All it takes is a will to do it, a few first steps, and then suddenly it’s done.

I’m so grateful for the reminder I got about this and I’ going to look at my next to-do on my list. This time in regards to an old belief that I carry about myself, to start letting it fade out into our cold winter night.

Do you have anything on your list? Something you would like to shift, let go or change? This is a good week to start and it feels so good doing it!

Love and Love
