Sunday Funday

Well I must say I have a little bit of a nervous belly!  Tomorrow is my first day back at a big girl job!  I will be spending Monday morning in the HR Office learning all about my new benefits (YAY! I can go to the Doctor again without weighing the pros & cons$$$ so heavily!)  Afterwards, my new bosses are taking me out to lunch to celebrate.  I have to say, I am VERY excited about working with these people... They all seem SO friendly, and many people I have yet to meet in the office and at the school have even sent me e-mails welcoming me to the "family".


I've been experiencing a lot of nervousness lately with all the change, and been addressing it with journaling, prayer, and talking about it with someone wise.  Last week, I went to yoga...


Side note *** I got into CROW POSE.  First time ever!  YAY!

Now it totally inspired me to practice yoga more.  I wanna get good!  Luckily, there are plenty of places in the vicinity of my new job... so I plan on practicing much more!


ANNNYWAY.


When I got on the mat, the yoga teacher informed us that today's practice would be dedicated to LETTING GO. 


"Let go of all the things that no longer serve you."


Those were powerful words to me.
I have always felt selfish for letting go of things that no longer "serve me", because I have been previously taught to do things for others that you would like done for yourself, sew good seeds, etc.


Even at the expense of yourself?  Your sanity, your mental/emotional/physical health?  


What it means to "let go"...Letting go of the things that no longer serve you... is healthy.  
Certain relationships are not meant to last forever.
Sometimes those people were brought into your life for a time and purpose, and then it IS time to LET GO.


Sometimes circumstances are only for a time and period... to help you or to grow you.. and then it is time to LET GO.


Sometimes memories are there for a time and period... to help you cope and deal with things slowly... but then its time to LET THEM GO.


I left my yoga mat that day after an hour of practice.  We Namaste'd, rolled up our mats, tied our shoe laces, and left the room.  Yet I still take the practice of LETTING GO with me. 


Letting go of the things that no longer serve me.  Not in a selfish way, but in a humble way.


Letting go, with faith, that God knows the plans He has for me... Plans for good and not for evil, for a future and a hope. *Jeremiah 29:11
