20. what you need to let go of

20. what you need to let go ofIf you want to move forward, you can't bring everything with you. You have to make space for what you want to come in. In this quick-moving season (spring, Aries energy), I'm sharing three messages about what you need to let go of to move forward in an aligned way: let go of the "shoulds" and the "I'll just do it myself" mentality, let go of the victim and martyr mindset (even if it's how you feel valuable), and let go of what's not actually fueling you (the things you use to escape vs. the things that truly fill you up). Letting go creates space. And space is what allows what you want to arrive.---Today's episode is about what you need to let go of in order to move forward in the way that you would want to. We're in a quick-moving season - spring, Aries energy - and if you're interested in aligned movement, this is for you.If we want to go where we're going, we can't bring everything with us. We always have to make space for what we want to come in, to arrive. If we don't create space for it, it can't come to us. And if it were to come to us, we wouldn't be able to receive it because everything is already full. There is no space for that thing to arrive.This topic can be tough, especially for high achievers, because we get wrapped up in the I-can-handle-it-all mentality. And we can sure try to handle it all, but you're likely going to see the effects - stress, overwhelm, burnout, anxiety, depression, physical ailments. We want to keep our drive up, but focused on the direction we want to go and what we want to call in, rather than continuing to hold baggage that needs to be let go.I received three messages for you. Here's what came through.
