LETTING GO! Do it today, don't wait another day!

Hello Beautiful People,

I feel inspired to write a quick note today on the topic of "letting go". As some of you know a year ago I embarked on a Personal Journey. I wasn't really sure where I was going I just knew I had to pack my bags and go. I gave up my 2000 sq foot dream loft. I let go of 1/2 of what I owned and gave away the rest. I couch surfed for a while, lived in a friends basement...I followed through on one of my life long dreams to do a road trip to the Mohave Desert, I took a The Gorilla Business Course, and met incredible people from around the world like me trying to live their passions. I took time to listen to what I really needed and started to put myself first. I practiced loving myself and stopped expecting or needing love from others. I started buying myself flowers and really taking care of my inner most needs. Including my inner child. Today I wake up each morning and ask myself what my the little girl in me wants to do today, and i make sure she gets air time to play and be curious. Little did I know this was the beginning of one of the most profound chapters in my life so far. All my life I had collected books, papers, beautiful things and clothes. I am sure I was addicted to shopping and filling my life with stuff. Being a yoga instructor certainly helped to create more balance in my life but the part of me inside that was unhappy was still there, I was still the old me underneath. It takes time, this is not an overnight process. Letting go takes dedication and commitment. Today I can say through much time spent in nature, letting go of most of what I own and paring down to the things around me that I love and that support me in being who I truly am inside. And what I found was actually the things I loved most were the things I have found in nature, or made or were made for me by friends ---not expensive objects. I am not expecting everyone to be this extreme. Look around your space, what are you holding onto, that could be let go to make space for new in your life. The other profound thing I have noticed is that as you let go of physical objects they represent inner parts of you, old parts of you and clearing them from your space makes room for new people, ideas, projects, to come your way. So as you let go of one thing today, say to yourself as i let go of this book, vase, chair etc. I make room for more love, money, friendship, playfulness in my life. Out with the old, in with the new. One door closes and new door opens. We know all this stuff, we just have to do it! Have fun, team up with a friend or hire an expert, I tried doing this on my own and hit a wall, often we ARE way to attached emotionally to our own stuff. A neutral person can come in and assist you in navigating through what is truly meaningful and what is just fear based stuff that you are holding onto! We are never really ready, so just do it! Start today and watch your life change shape in front of your very eyes. Have fun!!

Whine Less breathe more,

Alexandra
