If there is one piece of advice that is the hardest to follow, it's letting things go that hurts you. How are you supposed to do that when it hurts so much? If it attacks who you are? It is meant to bring you down? Exactly! How are you supposed to let that shit go? It’s not an easy task but it is one that you need to do in order to be free. Don’t underestimate yourself. Don’t underestimate the freedom you will receive by giving yourself the ability to let things hit you, processing it and then releasing it.
It is important to understand why whatever is bothering you is affecting you the way it is. Whether it is a situation or words and actions directed toward you, another or a group, it is mentally, emotionally and physically vital to your being to process it and then just let it go, and move on. By holding onto it will only stagnant negative energy within you, blocking areas of where positive energy should be. It’s like living in a dark room rather than being outside in the sunshine.
So how do you go about understanding why something is bothering you…. Write down your feelings! Why does it hurt? Is it directed at you or someone else? If it is directed at you, why do you think it was and what were the intentions of the person(s) saying or doing it? How does it make you look at yourself in this light they just put on you? There are two lessons here: Either you can be awakened to what may be some truth in it, learn from it and apply it; the other is WTH?? I do not agree with this and it is pure crazy! So bug off to that person(s) and move on - don’t give it room in your heart or head.
By holding onto situations and words that are negative and hold no value whatsoever you are giving it space to fill within you. Wouldn’t it be better to fill that space with love, happiness and light? You don’t need and shouldn’t bother with this dark energy and person(s). Release the negativity back to the universe and let yourself move on. There is no better gift you can give to yourself than the ability to learn from something and then let it go!
