Letting Go....

I think it was right before Christmas break of last year....

I decided that I needed to let go...

Let go of the over scheduled life I was living...

Let go of saying yes to everyone and everything...

Let go of feeling guilty for saying no....

Let go of toxic relationships...

Let go of drama....

I began asking myself why?

Why was I doing all of this stuff anyway?

Self worth? Validation?

I was trying to make everyone except myself happy...

Sacrificing my truth...

Silencing my voice...

I was putting myself in stressful situations....

I was doing it to myself...

The stress was making me ill...

So I decided to turn it around....

Let it ALL go....

I decided to start focusing on myself and my family....

I decided to slow everything down...

I decided to be present...

I decided to be Mindful...

I decided to return to the things that make me happy...

The things that I am passionate about...

The things that have TRUE meaning....

The things that make a difference...

And what did I gain from letting go?

Peace, Joy, Beauty, Freedom, Happiness, Self Worth,Validation....

It was always there...

I just had to find it again.
