The quicker we let go of things, the quicker we get to move on to the new and wonderful things that lay just ahead. The sooner we let go of unhappiness and pain, the sooner we become happy and pain-free. It’s really quite that simple. Simple but not easy. For many of us, myself included, letting go can be hard.

But the plain truth is, we cannot fully enjoy the present moment and see all of its opportunities, while mentally spending all of our time in the past. When we are visiting the past, we are in ghostland, which means we’re kinda dead in the now/real time. 

You could pass up your whole  life, by holding onto and living in the past. Let go! Whats done is done. It’s gone. History. Over. Forgive yourself and everyone involved. Stop punishing yourself and move on. Be free. The only way to be free and to enjoy the rest of your remaining life, is to let go.

Let go of all thoughts and feelings that keep you stuck in fear, pain, guilt, shame, blame, anger, resentment. The sooner you forgive yourself and all involved, the sooner your sentence  is over. You’ve paid the consequences, learned your lessons. Now move on. Be free.

You can never reach a state of happiness or peace while holding onto painful thoughts or feelings. If you want to be happy, start letting go of all the thoughts and feelings that cause you unhappiness. 

Start today. Pick a thought or memory that causes you pain every time it floats through your head and heart. If you’re like me, you’ve more than likely played this little clip over and over  and analyzed the episode to bits. More than likely, this clip brews up all kinds of emotions that are painful, making you feel angry, unhappy and generally not good. Now, take this thought/memory and consciously choose to let it go. Delete it, by forgiving yourself and all others involved. What’s done is done. Move on. You have now made a whole gig-load of room to think and create something new and happy instead. Out with the old, in with the new!

Every time that memory shows up (yeah, it’s highly unlikely it will just disappear right away, especially if it’s an ancient one), choose to forgive and let go.  Like with an unresolved ghost, send it into the light, resolve and dissolve it with love and forgiveness. Let the ghost-thought know, it’s ok, you survived, everything turned out ok, peace, rest in peace. Provide the little ghost evidence of all the things that are going well in your life, that you are ok.  Do not feed the little ghost-thought the pain it desires to stay alive. If you keep at this, soon, that thought will be so starved of your energy, that it simply stops coming around.

How great would that feel, eh? To be free of a particular thought that keeps you imprisoned in a place of unhappiness. Try it, you’ll like it.
