Let It Go

Girl, let it go!

A Guide to Being Your Best Self and Living Your Best Life WWW.SETAPARTSHOP.COM

Don't be afraid to start over.

It's a chance to build something better this time.

Hey ladies,

February has traditionally been the month of LOVE. We celebrate and show love to the history and contributions of Black Americans. Then there is Valentine's Day. The day we would exchange Valentine's and candy with our classmates and eventually, our significant other. Modern day, we have Galentine's Day. A day to celebrate you girlfriends.

I've decided to celebrate it all with an extra reminder to include myself. The month of LOVE, should include loving yourself. How do you show yourself love? Quiet moment to yourself, dinner date w/friends? I believe one of the most important ways to show yourself love is to do routine mental check ins.

Our monthly group talk will be with therapist, Chanel McCord and teen motivational speaker, Andrea Smith.

We will discuss moving past hurt, shifting our inner dialogue, exposing the things that have us stuck and letting go of negativity and receiving your Blessings from God.

Many of us get hung up on things that we believe we need in order to achieve the success and goals we desire for our lives. We seek things outside of ourselves to fulfill our inner self. It's quite counterproductive when you think about it. So much time is wasted, searching and researching, googling, even networking when we don't know what or why we are searching in the first place.

Like Dorothy in Oz, we always come back to ourselves.

Everything we need is within us; we have to release it.

Last week during our conversation with LeeAnn Sims, Confidence Coach, we learned that procrastination is a product of fear. It's easy to disguise procrastination. It's like the people who are perpetual students. They graduate and then make up a reason to get another degree.

Meanwhile, they don't need another degree, they won't use that degree but the active pursuit (search) delays them from entering the work force or going for the promotion at the their job. They have found an acceptable disguise.

Somewhere along the way, we have been taught not to trust ourselves. This lack of confidence dampens our spirit and often derails us from our purpose. Not everyone suffers from this but we have all experienced a moment or moments when we did not trust our gut and made a wrong decision as a result.

In order to make better decisions, we have to trust that God has given us everything we need to achieve the best life has to offer. You may not trust yourself but you can trust Him. I recently learned that oak trees are the only trees that produce acorns. Therefore, an acorn is never going to grow into an apple tree and apple seed will never become an oak. Their seeds release what's within and become what God has designed.

You may be saying, I'm not a seed and there are all sorts of negative things inside of me. Well, God tells us what He has placed inside of us and that is what we are to stand on. For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7 Power, love and a sound mind. I think that is enough for you to achieve whatever you desire. Release these three attributes and you will gain the confidence you seek.

You are on your way to fulling purpose!

In Friendship, Rita

Name one thing you plan on letting go

believe in yourself

You are more than your circumstance. You have the power to change yourself and your perspective

2

Do you want to let it go? It sounds nuts but many people use anger and hurt as defense mechanisms to protect their egos.

If I stay mad, I don't have to acknowledge that you may be right.

Playing the victim allows me to not take responsibility and continue the blame game.

self reflect

Healing doesn't occur if you aren't willing to see your role in the drame. It can be hard but you must self reflect and see own your choices and decisions

3

Why is it important for me to let it go? Figuring out why sometimes is the motivation we need to get out of our way.

know your worth

You are worth it! It doesn't matter what your parents have said about. a former teacher, friends. You are defined by God and God tells us we are made in His image and He loves us.

How to Let It Go: Start with wriitng down what is stopping you from having what you want. Ex. I hate my house. What can I do right now to make it better? Clean it? Rearrange the furniture? Sell? The problem may not be solved over night but the steps to fixing the problem, begins the process of letting it go.
