Today is: :star: Let It Go Day

Let it go, let it go
Can’t hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door
I don’t care what they’re going to say
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway
Idina Menzel, Let It Go, Frozen

Regrets are not particularly useful to anyone. They tend to weigh on people’s consciences and leave them with a deficit of joy, often at a time when those who have been wronged have long since forgotten them. Even if the other person hasn’t offered forgiveness, it is an important step toward healing for people to learn to forgive themselves. This helps with the process of moving forward without guilt or bitterness and allows people to endeavor to live a better life in the future.

Everyone has probably experienced those different sets of nagging regrets and grudges that tug at their souls for weeks, months or even years. It doesn’t even matter how much time has passed after the people, jobs or situations which once made them important ceased to be part of their life. It can still be so very hard to let go of these things.

Sure, there may have been a time in life when it felt important to take every opportunity to demonstrate to that ex, former workmate or classmate how well things were going without them. But isn’t it finally time to move on and let go of all of those negative emotions that tend to drag everything down?

That is exactly what Let It Go Day is all about! A day when people can be intentional about taking the brave step to cast away all those hang-ups from a previous chapter in life and start fresh.

Let It Go Day is one of a bevy of holidays created by Thomas and Ruth Roy of Wellcat Holidays & Herbs. They knew the difficulty of living with a pocketful of regrets that can haunt a person during every quiet hour, and knew that letting them go was the only way to find peace and contentment in their own lives.

So it was for this reason that Let It Go Day was created, with the intention of encouraging others throughout the world to also let go of their regrets and forgive themselves for actions taken in the past.

Let It Go Day is the perfect occasion to stop wasting so much energy on negative feelings from the past and instead focus on building a positive future. Consider ways to enjoy this day and foster personal freedom:

Set Intention with a Letting Go Practice
Write down a list of the things that are regrettable, and spend some time letting them go. To do this, simply work on trying to relax and let that guilt and fear vanish from the moment and, eventually from the whole of life.

One example of a way to symbolize this is by setting fire to your list and watching the things you regret burn away. Let the smoke and embers carry those worries to the sky and wind, where they’ll be erased.

Consider these other aspects of life that might prove beneficial by letting go of them: fear, holding grudges, guilt, regrets, the past, excuses, and the toxic people who just make life miserable.

Set a conscious intention to remove these things from your life and then practice it. Little by little, they will fly away and life will be much lighter, happier and more resilient without them.

Be zen. Be happy. No rag rats! And have a regret free Wednesday my Dudes! :frog::grinning::+1:
