How do you let go?

Holding on to the past can be a conscious decision just like letting go and moving forward can be a conscious decision. One thing that connects us all is our ability to feel and have emotions. What separates us though, is how we deal with that feeling and emotion.

One of the best ways to "let go" is to learn lessons from the situation and use those to focus on growth and forward momentum. If we get caught up in thinking about what “should have been,” we can become stuck.

To let go, you need to make the conscious decision to take control of the situation. This can take time and you may need professional help and know that that's okay. Be kind to yourself as your work to refocusing how you see the situation and celebrate the small victories as you grow and let go.

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SPEAK INTO YOUR LIFE

When you start blending your beliefs and your words together, they become so powerful you can move mountains. You are the creator of your destiny, and it starts with the words you speak into your life.

Words cannot change reality, but they can change how people perceive reality. You must speak your dreams into existence. And more than just speaking them, you must BELIEVE and TRUST those blessings are coming.

Every time you speak negative over your life, your life gets a little more negative… Every time you speak strength into your life your life gets a little stronger.

• Instead of saying: “I don’t know how to do it”
• Say: “I am committed to LEARN how to do it”
• Instead of saying: “My best days are behind me”
• Say: “My best is yet to come!”

Instead of believing others are born lucky or with special gifts, KNOW that you are capable of anything. Know that you can study and commit to learn from great people and KNOW that you can become a great person in your own right.
