What I'm leaving behind
Dear reader,
Today is a slow, gray day with the energy of that strange liminality that emerges so strongly in the time after Christmas and before New Year’s Eve.
Though I don’t believe in New Year resolutions (more on that another time), I’ve been feeling pulled to reflect on what’s no longer working for me & what I’m ready to let go of as I step into 2024.
To be clear, letting go isn’t based on the desire to be different. It’s about knowing that letting go of what is no longer working will allow me to welcome a new beginning with open arms. It’s about opening, expanding, releasing, growing, and finding a deeper kind of self-love and self-trust.
So, here are 10 things my body and heart are ready to let go of in the new year.
1. SHAME
I’ve said it before & I’ll say it again: force will never be a loyal friend on the path to healing.
