Letting go….

As Winter approaches, Nature is letting go of anything that is surplus to requirements. Leaves are being shed, so she can focus her energy on caring for herself in the months ahead.

Anyone else feel like they are being called to do the same?

I do.

Maybe it’s because I am more in sync with nature these days, maybe it’s because I have a BIG birthday fast approaching, or that I am coming to the end of a long divorce process, but in the last couple of months I have needed to step back and reassess everything in my life.

This includes teaching yoga, my use of media (social and other), friendships that no longer serve one or both parties, unfollowing people who disturb my peace of mind, saying no to nights out if I feel knackered. You get my gist….

I have paused, taken a breath, really connected with my innate wisdom and given myself permission to let go of what no longer serves me.

I know this will be an ongoing process, as I can’t change decades-old habits overnight, but what I am starting to feel is the confidence and trust in myself to make the right decisions for me, in terms of the way that I live my life.

I am letting go of my long term need to people please, the fear of showing up as the real me in case I’m not enough, or people don’t like what I have to say. In its place I’m holding space and allowing myself to speak up if something doesn’t feel right, and slowly, gently I’m allowing the version of me that I have buried for years to emerge.

I’m still getting to know this new me, but I’m happy she’s here.

New things are afoot, and I’m excited to see where I go with all of this, so watch this space….

What are you ready to let go of? I’d love to know.
