Say goodbye to what no longer serves YOU

Another break from the simple steps post I usually have up here on fridays. This post is bound to get me to tear up before I am at the end of writing it. But, it needs to be written, and it needs to be written now. 

Over these past few days I have started to make amends with some people I pushed away when I was going through a really rough patch. 

It's related to a part of me that I am letting go of today.

It's the part of myself that doesn't find herself worth much when she can't help others, or be there for them. Who thinks that she has to waste all her energy in helping other people, and then when she is completely drained of energy, she disappears. 

I know where she stems from, but she no longer serves my path, and I lovingly, tenderly let her go. I promise to always take optimal care of myself first and foremost, and I will do whatever I can to help other people, but I no longer will wear myself thin doing so. It's not serving my soul's path, and it's not serving me. 

I am letting her know that whatever it takes, I will take care of her, I will be there for her, I will nurture her, and I will cherish her forever. Because what she longs for most, is love. I have that in abundance. 

What part of yourself do you need to let go of? What part no longer serves you? What aspect?

And funny enough, as I am finishing up this post, I have no tears in my eyes. I feel energetic and I have a smile on my face. Guess it's time I get to know the real me, the person hidden underneath all those persona's I created over the years just to cope. I think I love her to pieces :)

This so resonates with me. We build up behaviors, ways of thinking, personas for "good" reasons that serve us at a certain time in our life. The real challenge is being able to let go and say goodbye.

Bravo!

Yep we do, and it's so key to see through those persona's and then lovingly break down their patterns. Lovingly because love is the only healer in this. 

And thank you! *hugs*

Life has a funny way of sending you messages that you need to hear. Your post tied in with other messages I've received today ... time to be authentic with myself and do what is right for me.

Thanks for sharing and delivering the message!

I saw this and it's funny that it showed up today, because there's been something that's been in my family's life that's needed to go away for quite awhile, but my husband and I just couldn't let go of it - mostly because of sentimental reasons. We finally sat down 2 days ago and actually voiced it to each other. I looked at my husband and said, exactly, "I'm ready now, I think. I'm in the mode of 'Let go of what doesn't serve you.' " Today, my guides helped me out, and just cut the cord. And I'm relieved... and so is my husband. RIGHT AFTER this all happened, I was scrolling through my Tweetdeck and saw the title of this... my message, echoed back to me. So thank you! :-)

I so love synchronicities in life. Thank you for reminding me of their existence. Blessings to you and yours :)
