Don't Let Go |
Posted: February 5, 2013 |
Don’t Let Go Hang on! Don’t let go! Fear of falling is a basic fear we come into the world with, and it apparently sticks with us throughout life. And so we hang on for dear life, don’t we? Even when it’s time to let go. Not everything needs to be held on to so tightly. What are we afraid will happen if we let go? Aaaah…that’s an interesting question… Sometimes it’s about fear and sometimes fear has nothing to do with it. We hang on out of habit. We do what we know. We do our “normal” and heaven forbid anyone strays from the “normal’. That is NOT comfortable. Better hang on tight to not lose THAT. Regardless the reason, hanging on to the old normal doesn’t leave any room for allowing anything else to appear. It keeps us rigidly attached to our beliefs, perceptions and expectations. It sets us up for and keeps us in pain. Allowing is a beautiful thing. It’s freeing. You get to be you and I get to be me. I don’t have to LIKE what you do, and I don’t have to DO what you do. [and vice versa] Here’s the catch, people: that means the time has come to let go of my expectations and my “shoulds.” Those are all my “normals” and they can be blocks. But wait a sec…I find something else comes with hanging on to my normal…judgment and blame. You are wrong and it’s your fault. [TRANSLATION? I am right and I’m not responsible.]
Now listen up, I’m not saying BE like these folks, nor am I saying be a doormat. I’m saying for most perceived upsets in our life, there’s a fair share of judging and blaming occurring. That behavior keeps you frozen; allowing moves you forward. And you don’t need to know the WHY behind everything. Man, that takes a lot of energy. It’s a clever excuse that disguises the blaming and judging. As Abraham-Hicks says, “If you don’t like something, just don’t put it in your pie.” WHY do you like nutmeg? WHY do you put it in your pie? WHY don’t you use cinnamon? Who cares? Not a nutmeg fan? Don’t put it in your pie. Done. Let go of expectations, the need to be right, the need to know why, the need for others to BE like you, the need for others to like you… let it go. Release it, don’t replay it.
To your New Normal, Annie~Pat
