This is your letting go season. Before you can grow and glow, you've got to let go. Letting go of things that hurt us in the past is never an easy thing to do because just when you think you've gotten over that toxic relationship up pops something else that reminds us of the situation, and there we go, getting all caught up in our feelings.
I have deemed September to be the letting go season. A season where we turn trickery into triumph, despair into delight, and mountains into magnificence, but the only way that can happen is when we let go of what we think we know so we can grow.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:"
How does this help us with letting go? I'm glad you asked.
This verse is a powerful reminder when it comes to letting go. It emphasizes the ever-changing nature of life and here are a few ways it can help us with the process of letting go:
The Process of Letting Go
1. Acknowledging Timing
The verse reminds us that there is a time for everything, which includes letting go. Sometimes, we hold on to things or emotions longer than necessary, fearing the unknown or clinging to the past. Understanding that there is a time and season for letting go can encourage us to release what no longer serves us when the time is right.
2. Accepting Impermanence
Ecclesiastes 3:1 underscores the impermanent nature of life's seasons. Just as there are seasons for joy, there are also seasons for sorrow, and likewise, there are seasons for holding on and letting go. Accepting this impermanence can help us embrace change and recognize that our current struggles or attachments won't last forever.
3. Finding Purpose
The verse mentions "a time to every purpose under the heaven." This suggests that there is a purpose or reason behind the different seasons in our lives, including the season of letting go. When we let go of what no longer serves us, we make space for new opportunities, personal growth, and positive changes in our lives.
4. Letting Go With Faith
Understanding that there is a divine order or timing for everything can provide a sense of faith and trust in the process of letting go. It encourages us to have faith that releasing the past and embracing change is part of a greater plan or purpose for our lives.
How to Find Your Power
The other day, I shared a post that read "It's hard to love right when your heart is still holding on to things that have been done wrong to it."
This statement carries a profound truth that resonates with many of us. It reminds us of the importance of letting go in our journey towards love, healing, and personal growth.
Holding onto past hurts and grievances can hinder our ability to love fully and authentically. When our hearts are burdened by the weight of past wrongs, it becomes challenging to give and receive love in a healthy and meaningful way. We might find ourselves overly guarded, hesitant, or even combative, which can strain the development of a deep and fulfilling relationship.
But, as I've discussed throughout this blog, letting go is the key to unlocking the full potential of our hearts. It's the process through which we release the chains of resentment, anger, and pain that have been holding us back. Letting go frees up space within our hearts for love, compassion, and joy to flourish.
How to Heal
As we embrace the idea of letting go, we open ourselves up to the possibility of loving right and being loved properly. We allow ourselves to heal, grow, and move forward. We give ourselves permission to learn from the past without being defined by it.
So, if you find yourself struggling to love right because your heart is burdened by past wrongs, remember that letting go is a powerful and transformative act of self-care. It's a gift you can give yourself to pave the way for healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
In your letting go journey, be patient with yourself. It may not happen overnight, and that's perfectly okay. What matters is that you're taking the steps toward a heart that is free, open, and ready to love again. And as you continue on this path of self-discovery and healing, may you find the love and happiness you deserve, both within and in the relationship that comes your way.
