Let It Go

Love. Peace. Growth

In a clouded mental space due to a collection of overwhelmingly draining processes like overthinking, overworking, excessive self doubt, and continued little prickly stabs of everyday inconveniences; breathing seems nonexistent. Having a easy day is rare and you become this cynical mess of inner destruction.

Shit like that is just bullshit... heavy invisible burdens that the hottest shower can’t even wash away.

It’s time for a change.

In times where unhealthy everything from relationships to views on self worth is promoted by mass social media, we need personal accountability for our actions and thoughts. We’ve become a people so materialistic and so butt hurt over the control that we cannot posses over other human beings that we unknowingly become the acid, burning everything we touch. Setting off numerous domino effects of “bad luck.”

Breathe.

Just stop for two seconds and breathe. Feel your muscles ease into their natural state.

Relax.

Let your anger and ultimately your fear go. Look around you and just breathe. Do you know where you are? Do you know who you are, outside of the personality you display for the world? Accept the moment; whatever it may be. And just ride your wave. You can never change the rate of currents coming your way, but you can choose to surf smoothly or drown.

At times we get too attached to Hollywood’s picture of things or caught up in how things are supposed to be, look, feel, that we taint the organic ness of growth, losing the blessings of Now. I encourage you all, as well as myself, to just allow yourself to live one day at a time. Create better worlds allowing each moment to be a positive learning experience. To not be caught in the negative aspect of moments, spreading the darkness into future pure moments. To be confident in yourself, never placing judgements on anyone else and more importantly, yourself. Respecting your ego and its feelings, realizing these parts of you, they’re there, but never lose sight of your pure intentions or of your true wise nature.

Realize that you control nothing but your thoughts and feelings vicariously through your reactions. Nurture your soul so deeply that even the music you feed yourself is something to create positive peaceful mental spaces. You can never fail with your best foot forward at all times.

Demons are the insecurities of wounds from your mental past. Habitual patterns attained from bad experiences that you never forgave. Dark places born of abused trust and raggedy wall fixtures to protect shattered egos. Forgive everyone, including yourself, and let it go. Your responsibilities don’t include allowing things that don’t serve you to abuse you. You’re worth your mental peace.

Love heals all wounds, gives every grinch a heart, and makes light of your worst day, and it all starts with you. When bad things shatter your outer layer, don’t forget the love. It is love that builds you back again. People and situations will hurt you but it’s only a growing experience. A personal test... you never know what the next man is going through but I’m sure you can take a moment to snatch that ego together and find a moment where maybe you treated someone the same way, deserved or not. Make the connection and respectfully, let that soul carry its heavy burdens away from you. Choose love and love will always choose you.

Energy is either a transfer or a virus.

You decide.
