Not all Jersey Girls are about hair, nails, and "WTF"

There was something else I wanted to say, and this is not it. 9/23/16

An excerpt from ‘The Secret to Letting Go of the Past’ by Kimby Maxson via Elephant Journal, 5/11/16:
“So how do we do it? How do we let go (of the past)?
The secret is, we don’t. We don’t let go. We loosen our grip. That is all.
We accept that every experience that we have ever had and everything that we have ever done or that has been done to us and every person we have ever known, every place we have ever been, every decision we’ve ever made and every thought we have ever had is part of who we are, and whether we understand it or not they all serve a purpose.
So we don’t force it. We don’t insist on letting go. We don’t forget the past. We don’t silence the ghosts.
We acknowledge and honor everything that is our past, we forgive ourselves and others, we take a deep breath and we slowly, simply, loosen our grip, finger by finger, thought by thought and what’s meant to slip away will, the rest we embrace.”

 

Sayeth LJG~This begs the question of how to let go, or to even loosen the grip just a little.  Or what about when you think you’ve let go…and then the person or the feeling comes back. And you’re helpless.

So are these the things to embrace? What if the things that keep coming back also hurt? Are we meant then to embrace the things that hurt??

Seems counterintuitive.  But it happens.
