We all do it.

We feel change coming and we put all of our efforts and energy into keeping things the same, even if they are no longer serving us.  We do it in our relationships, with our bodies, our thoughts, at our jobs, with our children. It's exhausting!

But the saying goes-What we resist persists.

And I'm finding this to be truer and truer in my own life and in my client's lives.  The urge to resist change and keep predictability in our lives comes from an old place that we all know, a way of keeping us safe-otherwise we'd be in fight or flight mode all of the time.

But practicing finding little ways of letting go daily can help ease the pain of having to deal with the inevitable loss that accompanies change. You can let go of fear and surrender into the beauty of a moment.  You can let go of thoughts that are constantly putting you in a bad mood. You can let go of old material things that no longer fit in your life. You can invite change in many ways.  When you stop avoiding, you also can stop the suffering that happens with resistance. 

Where or what can you let go of today?
