If you have kept up with my articles over the past couple of weeks, you would come to find that there is somewhat of a common theme strewn throughout.
I try to live my life as an optimist. Moreover, I try my best to be the positive light for not only myself, but also for those close to me in my life. Hell, I try to make sure anyone I come into contact with gets a sense of optimism and can continue their day with a smile.
That being acknowledged, I come to this week's idea of letting go. No, I do not mean to relate my thoughts to that of Elsa. She had the right idea with "Let it Go", but I wish to impart some new knowledge to the idea.
Days can be daunting at times. They have an overabundance of emotion. No one is a master at understanding everything they experience at one time or another. Life is a complex question and it is okay that we don't understand it completely.
This realization is why I do my best to be the friend everyone can come to just to flush out what is on their mind and try to get to some level of understanding and feel content. You could say I am the motivational one of the group for most of my friends. I love every second of it, don't get me wrong. Something I have to remember though is sometimes it is okay to take a step back and focus on what my mind is reeling with.
I am there to allow my friends to let go and cry, get angry or simply sit in silence and know its okay. These actions allow us to free ourselves and almost set the reset on our emotions.
Flip side, I tend to hold onto whatever is on my mind and let it settle, pile up and continue to internally beat at me. My friends take my energy and I would not have it any other way.
My point in all this babble is meant more as a reminder to me. I need to allow myself to step back time and again. Allow myself to reach out to my friends and or simply be alone and flush out my emotions over time, rather than all at once.
Last night reminded me of this as I sat on the phone with a good friend of mine and just continued to cry and feel down. Of course the roles were then reversed and she used her positive energy to spark something inside me. She helped me let go.
What can be the take away in all this for you, the reader?
LET GO
It's okay to cry it out, scream it out, write it out, dance it out, play in out on the field/pool/court, etc. Find whatever allows you to LET GO of your emotions and start a day or moment fresh! Live your life with the uncertainty but be able to do it with a smile on your face and a passion in your heart!
