LETTING GO - Your Path to Freedom
LETTING GO - Your Path to Freedom
Why do we hold on to possessions, beliefs, memories, and ways-of-being (the stuff) that robs our time, and causes us frustration?
The answer is this: Emotion Always Wins Over Reason.
The question to ask yourself is this; “Who will I be when I let go of all the burdensome things I am holding on to?”. When the mind is convinced that there has to be something more than just being you in order for you to be enough, it feels like the 'outside' stuff is giving you your identity.
Example: you are not your job, your family, your parents, your education, your achievements, your salary, or your bank account. Your value is not in how often you please others, or live up to an ideal based on accomplishment.
One of the reasons we hold on to that which no longer serves us is because we identify ourselves as the 'stuff'--the accomplishments, the ever-changing outside. We don't believe we are enough; and when we come from believing we are not enough, we will always need more of something…possessions, responsibilities, achievement, food, attention, people, etc. in order to feel protected, safe, valuable, and that we matter.
At a feeling level, we have lost our ability to trust that we are whole and complete, and that feels like we are denied the bountiful life we desire. The feeling level reaction creates the belief that what we want is ‘not available’ -out of reach, un-havable.
In short, we hold on to stuff because of a false belief that says, 'The more I’ve got, the closer I’ll come to being ‘enough’. --This is an illusion. Your enough-ness comes from inside of you, everything else is a false promise.
Change this belief, and everything else will change.
