Today's Inspiration

The focus for today's inspiration is:

I let go of things that do not bring me joy.

We probably all have things in our life that do not serve us. Some of these things are things we bought, or gifts we received, that for some reason we can't let go of even if we don't really like them. It can be something you paid a lot for, so even though you don't use it, or even like it, you are keeping it because...well, you paid a lot for it. Or perhaps it's a gift from aunt Mildred. And each time you see it you cringe because, well, you just don't like it as it's not your style. But yet, there it is, in your living room or worse, in your bedroom. It's enough to give you nightmares.

Some other things we need to let go of are habits... including some of the things we eat habitually, or things we do, or don't do. Yes, not doing something can also be a habit. Do you habitually neglect to exercise? Or do you habitually "forget" to take your vitamins? ... or whatever you habitually don't do? These habits, as well as some you do, could be beneficial to let go and set free, and thus set yourself free. 

Surrounding ourselves with things we don't love is a drain on our energy. And the opposite is true -- surrounding ourselves with things that please us, provides us joy. Look around you and see which things you might choose to let go of, and then, do so. Your energy will be lighter and you will feel much better. And the more you let go, the more you will be able to receive blessings. You can't receive when your hands are clenched tight, holding on to the past.
