Moving Forward

We open the windows, smile as we search
for our t- shirts, make outside plans, wash the car and do some cleaning.
The fresh smell in the air almost lightening our steps throughout the
day. Suddenly we are welcoming spring with open arms and hardly look back
as we close the door on winter. It seems that whether you are a lover of
winter or not, you still find the same relief in making it through another
cold season and am happy to bring in spring. But
finding closure isn’t always that easy, is it? How often do you find
yourself holding onto things or people from your past that you know are
keeping you from moving forward? As often as you speak about letting it
go, you can’t seem to do it. What is it that makes us hold onto things
that don’t work for us? What is it that we really fear about letting go?

The Joy of
Spring

What is it that makes spring so magical?
Where everyone seems to smile more, laugh more and crave the great
outdoors. We call the act of cleaning, “spring cleaning” giving it almost
a positive spin and happily begin a new workout program in hopes of
revealing our bodies more in our new spring clothes. But is it the
weather that makes us want to jump for joy, or
the changing of the season that creates that spark for us? Think about
what spring really represents. It’s a chance to start completely new.
Well, maybe not completely, but the mere act of putting on lighter
clothing, spending time outside, perhaps gardening, playing sports or
even just walking your dog again, makes getting up in the morning much
easier. The fact that we also have more daylight gives us the possibility
of getting more done during the day. The one thing that has always
inspired me most is the first bud peaking its’
way through the dirt. Carefully and almost secretly trying to make its’
way into the light of the day, so willing to take another chance at a
brand new season. Without concern about the warm weather lasting long
enough to secure its’ growth, it rises to the top, anxious to take its’
first breath of air. The bud doesn’t concern itself with the winter it is
leaving behind or the security of the ground that surrounded it for so
long. Instead, it rises up, ready to start anew. Perhaps we could all
learn a lesson from the simplicity of a flower blooming in spring. The
rebirth, the chance to start again, and an opportunity to truly let go of
the past.

When it's Time
to Let Go
|
|
|
|
If you're unsure why you're still
hanging on, it is probably time to let go. Here are some simple
strategies to help you find closure: 1-Declare it aloud. You may also
need to write it down or tell a friend to help you stay focused on your
goal. 2- Call the person you need to find closure with. Acknowledge the
good things you've gotten from the relationship and then declare why you
need to let go. 3- If you can't speak with the person, send them a
letter. 4- Find something new to focus on in its place that will be a
positive replacement. Remember that the reason for closure is to be
able to appreciate the positive things the future holds for you. So think
positive and create mental images of what great things may be coming your
way. Life is a game, so get off the bench and start playing!
