Releasing + Receiving

When the trees let go of their leaves in the fall, they conserve their energy through the winter, and make space for new growth in the spring.

When we release things that are no longer helpful to us, we have more energy and are open to new opportunities and growth.

During this beautiful fall season, is there anything that you are ready to let go of in order to focus your time and energy on what is most important to you?  

I asked myself this question as I was walking through my neighborhood, looking up at the beautiful trees and scuffing my feet through the piles of dry fallen leaves.

The first thing that came to my mind was my worrying and my plan Bs.  I want to let go of spending my time worrying if everything will work out the way I hope it will and then coming up with another plan in case it doesn’t end up working out that way.

I also want to release trying to be my best at everything and instead, show up to life as I am.  I want to love myself for being good enough.  Instead of striving to be the best I can be, I want to focus on loving and caring for myself and those around me.

Releasing these things helps me to have energy to focus on what I value most: loving relationships, health, happiness and helping others.

What can you release today in order to make room in your life to receive more of what you value most? I’d love to hear from you.
