Everyone has a story. We all come from somewhere and have experiences we carry with us. As much as we try and let go, our past can sometimes feel like a piece of our identity.
The crying cheerleader gif may feel familiar for you, because it definitely does for me. What we carry and hold on to can be exhausting and draining. Although it may not be as dramatic as this, holding on to the past can take its toll.
If you felt like you needed permission – let go. If you just needed a friendly reminder – let go. Use gratitude and demonstrate appreciation for THIS MOMENT. We can’t change the past but we can be present in the here and now. Be grateful for lessons learned but know there’s no going back. Let go of what you were carrying. Free yourself and be the best version of you with gratitude.
