The Importance of Letting Go

Every day is an opportunity to let go. Sometimes we don’t recognise the weight we are carrying. Other people’s expectations, old resentments, requirements we have set for ourselves, grief, unhealthy relationships, blame of our parents. They all sit there, heavy on our chest, or a tightness in our throat. Literally taking up space in a body that is crying out for freedom. Daily life is easy to get entangled in, hiding away the problems at the root of it all. But we choose to keep carrying that load, we pick it up everyday and set it back down at night without ever asking why. There is always something to let go of, to forgive; sometimes it just takes a little bravery to take a good look.
