Freedom from the Past

In sessions, you hear me talk about letting go of the past.

“Let go of the story, the labels, the judgments, the grief and sadness, the regrets and resentments, even your accomplishments. 

You are not the same person you were 20 years ago and you are not the same person you were yesterday.

The past does not have to define how you FEEL or ACT in this moment.“

It’s easy to say these words. It’s more difficult to live truly independent of our past. Part of being human is learning from experiences. We make logical choices based on what has happened in our lives. How do we let go of the past?

I feel compelled to share a story about an experience that invited me to show up differently in the present moment.

Recently I awoke at 3am, contemplating my marriage. 

Whenever we are close to someone, a friend, partner, or relative, our identities become interwoven with big emotions; Emotions about what we said or did; Emotions about how we were treated; Feelings of rejection and abandonment and loneliness. Even in a good marriage, there are times we feel separate and alone.
