Let go of the past

week. I keep seeing how emotionally tied I am to people and situations from my past….

This one is gonna take a while!

again, by decluttering and getting rid of some items that my family gave to me after a loved one died. they thought I would like the items, and I did keep them for the past 5 years, for sentimental reasons. Today I realized they were just sitting in storage, with no love and nowhere to go, because they are not the kinds of things I would decorate with. I just kept them to hold on, after the loved one died.

I decided to gift them to Goodwill, because I know/hope someone will want and appreciate them and display them with love. I feel this is more honorable to do, in memory of said loved one.

In a physical way: I let go of more items that are linked to memories for me, but that I did not use. they literally did nothing but clutter my spare room/office. I almost took a few things back a few times, but I didn’t, in the end.

I had a very difficult but much-needed epiphany about one of my current situations where I feel stuck and confused. it came out of nowhere—well, maybe out of a lot of emotional churning, some thinking, and a lot of time connecting more to myself.

Anyway, it was definitely connected to my efforts to emotionally let go. I feel like I am closer than I was before—at least closer to letting go of certain things.

I just need to figure out no what to do with this knowledge I gained about myself so I can use it to get out of the pattern for good.

A few items were things that I have clung to for memories, and because they tied me to certain people no longer around. It was a bit difficult, but not as hard as it has been before. This is one small way i have let go of a few things from my past.

toughest “todo” on this list.
