How to Let Go of Old Burdens and Let Your Energy Soar!

Releasing your burdens...

So, let me ask you- what type of burdens are you carrying on your shoulders these days? Want more money? (Who doesn't?) Trying to make everyone else happy? Do you feel anxiety for no reason? What else? Do you have lots of drama in your life and are you ready for more peace?

This week, can you commit to releasing your burdens? (Come on, it's just one week!!)

Are you wondering how in the heckfire you are supposed to release them? After all, you have been carrying them around for years! It's fairly simple- I hesitate to share it for it has awesome powers and you may never come back to this book. Just mentally step aside and LET GO. Picture your small self stepping off to the side and letting your Higher Self take over. If you prefer to use the term Universe, or God, or Source, then fine. It's all the same, so call it what feels best for you.

You may be thinking that it isn't so easy, but keep practicing letting go. Take a deep breath and shrug off your worries, and affirm that you did hand it over to a Higher Energy and you don't need to worry about it anymore! Trust that it will work out!

The most important aspect of all of this is to feel inner peace and calm, and to get out of your own way. If you don't know what getting in your own way is, here you go: worrying, resistance, over-thinking, impatience, complaining, etc. Allowing and getting out of your own way looks more like this: inner peace, happiness, laughter, exercise, meditation, and play.

Notice a difference? What are you doing most of the time? Letting it in or blocking your way?

Give your thinking mind a break this week. If you have a few pressing issues, then practice handing it off and not thinking about it. Try this affirmation:

I am thankful that I no longer have to worry about this. I am handing it off to my Higher Self and I trust that it will be taken care of perfectly. Thank you!

Keep in mind that you have been thinking a certain way your entire life. You are used to letting your mind do all the work. Letting go and handing it over to a Higher Source is easy, and it involves you doing nothing but letting go. Why is it so hard for us to do this? Why can't we let go? Because we have been trained to think that "work" is the only way to get things done. I'm telling you that "work" isn't necessary here, and it is actually blocking your way. When you open up to a higher source, Divine intelligence can flow in and give you the answers and solutions you need. As Einstein once said, "you can't solve a problem with the same consciousness that created it!" (I may have paraphrased a bit. Don't tell Einstein!)

After this week, if it feels better to do so, then you can pick your burdens back up and continue to carry them around like old luggage with the wheels broken off. But I doubt you will want to...
