The Art of Moving Forward
I have been contemplating the year just past of 2017 and while I call it a “bad” year it was so much more than that. It was a learning process, a purging of sorts which has brought me to a place of peace. Too many times we look at these times with anger and even rage when in reality they are necessary for our survival. Getting rid of what doesn’t work or what is no longer serving you is necessary in my life and your life. We cannot move forward with the baggage of yesterday and it has to be removed. While this is a painful process it is a necessary process, this amputation of activities and sometimes even friends that will not go with us into the next chapter of our lives.
The longer we try to hold onto these reminders of the past the more time it will take to transition to a new and better life. It feels like grasping onto a twig during a hurricane and the process is just as futile, we might as well let go early in the game and let ourselves transition into the next stage of growth as this will allow change to happen more quickly and smoothly. It is a lesson I did not learn well the first time I went through a major change but it has become easier with time as I want to see what happens next. I want to embrace the changes in my life and grow as a person more quickly. May your journey be fruitful and less painful.
And that is my MENTAL HEALTH MOMENT
