Alright, so who doesn’t want more happiness in their life, we all do. Starting today you can! The best part about it, it’s free. Focusing on letting go of negative past vibes can help you out significantly. Who needs that weight or that added stress?! Of course doing fun things you enjoy brings happiness but what about finding happy daily just because that is your natural state of being. Letting go is definitely harder than planning a fun day with friends but it’s worth the work to let go of that extra burden hanging around.
When you’re holding on to something “things”, “grudges” etc. it gets stored in your body which effects your physiology. That can result in a host of issues. I’m no doctor but I am I trained professional in the health and wellness industry and have read and studied tons of material that backs up what I am writing about.
When you let go, it’s a freeing sensation. It feels like light, like a weight has been lifted. That heaviness is gone.
Letting Go Of Comparing & Competing
Let go of comparing & competing…How many times have you found yourself comparing your looks, your job, your house, your income, your personality to someone else and then tried to make “yours” better. If you compare you will always find something better than what you have. So stop comparing and love what is yours, it is yours after all, own it and be proud of it. Be delighted of your own accomplishments in life. If your in it for the competition, you are setting yourself up for failure, somebody has to lose and it very well could be you. Just be in it for the fun of it.
Focus on the positive ways to compare and compete like compare paint colors for brightening your room or compete with yourself and beat your last time on your mile run. Make it satisfying and rewarding not a game.
Letting Go Of Regret
Let go of regret…How many times have you done something or said something you regret later, probably many, like most people (except for me, yeah right!). We are only human and we are all learning at different speeds. Honestly, where does regret get you. You cannot change the past. What’s said is said, what’s done is done. All you can do is learn from the past and make change for the future. That is what you get out of regret, a learned experience. Take it and move on.
Regret for experience to learn and leave it at that.
Letting Go of Guilt & Blame
Let go of guilt & blame…Guilt will do nothing but eat you up. Guilt is something you feel after an occurrence has already happened. You cannot change the past similar to regret so move on. Determine why you feel guilt for saying something mean to your mom or eating a piece of cake after eating bad all day. Get something out of it, next time you will think before you speak, or just have a bite of the cake. Apologize to others and to yourself and put it behind you. Never blame, you are just passing the guilt onto someone else. Own it, deal with it, learn from it, come to terms with it and move on.
Again, learn form your experience so in the future you are better equipped to handle a situation.
Letting Go of Anger
Let go of Anger…We all get mad or angry at times, some more often than others. It is a natural feeling of emotion when something goes wrong or someone pisses us off. Some people carry anger for days, months, even years. Anger is so unhealthy. Be mad, get angry but forgive and move on. Don’t let someone you don’t even know ruin your day next time you get cut off while driving. Be the first to forgive your loved ones. We tend to get most angry with the people we love because when they hurt us, it really hurts. We should be loving the people we love!
You don’t need the weighted stress that anger brings. It’s good to be mad that means you give a damn but it is not healthy on your body to hold onto anger. Imagine all the stress and added inflammation you are inflicting on your body. You should really consider taking an Omega to help with the negative effects of stress on your body. I take this Omega to balance stress and help repair my cells.Talk it out, compromise, don’t hold it in, get it out then move on and put it behind you.
OMG, who really wants to be angry all the time. Not you! Some people just have a mad look on their face (I think there’s a name for that). Learn the art of forgiveness.
Letting Go of Judgment
Let go of Judgment…We have all judged someone or something before in our lives, it is so natural. Should we judge, yes of course we should judge. Judging helps us in certain situations. Maybe your unfamiliar with an area your driving through and it doesn’t look the safest, lock your doors, do not stop and get the heck outta there as fast as you can. When you find yourself judging a friend or family member because they do somethings differently than you or live a different lifestyle than you that’s what you want to stop. Who are we to judge?! We are all our own individual people which makes us unique. Do you like to be judged? Keep judgment for what it is intended for, opinion and evaluation.

Focus on the Now

You can have so much more happiness in your life starting today. Start having a different perspective. Try looking at all the good in your life rather than the bad, what can go right versus what could go wrong, what could be fixed rather than what is broken. Focus on the positive not the negative. Life doesn’t have to be complicated, if you make it that way, that is the way it will be…..complicated.
Take it one step at a time.
Focus on just anger or judgment. Once you have let it go focus on letting go of guilt. It is not going to be easy and it will definitely take work, but you can do it. You will get there! Simplify every little thing. Do not give up! You are not a quitter!
