Let Go. What (or whom) did you let go of this year? Why?<\/i><\/p>\n
In 2010<\/a>, it was a person. In 2011<\/a>, it was an idea. In 2012<\/a>, it was a symbol represented by a person. In 2013<\/a>, I let go fear. In 2014<\/a>, I let go of humility (or the desire to appear humble). In 2015<\/a>, I let go of perfection. In 2016<\/a>, I let go of expectations.<\/p>\n This year, I am letting go of things and people I don’t need. Specifically things that bring me down.<\/p>\n There’s always this perception that I should keep things<\/i> just in case. On the materialistic side, this can result in hoarding, building up unopened items, desires, and more…all of which lead to disappointment. It might be konmari-ing everything in my life, but it’s really about simplification so that I can dedicate my energy to where I want. And as I get older, I care less about what other people think.<\/p>\n Previous to this year, I had believed that it was important to surround myself with people that would challenge to me. To an extent yes, but why should I if on a daily basis, they drain me and offer so little support? Or even any potential of a future benefit?<\/p>\n So I let go of those and things that can’t satisfy me. Because I don’t need them. I don’t want them.<\/p>\n And for once, I feel free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Let Go. What (or whom) did you let go of this year? Why? In 2010, it was a person.
