Letting Go of the Past - At Last!

Letting Go Of The Past - At Last !

A Self Help Article by Shirley Carton ©2008.

Is there somewhere you desperately want to get to, but you do not know how to get there?
Letting go of the past is a great place to start.

It will happen for you when you decide to walk out of negativity and unforgiveness, and choose to drink from the wellness spring of Love, and Forgiveness, Positivity and Creativity.
Only you can make that choice. Only then can you begin let go and start to move forward.

When we hang on to our painful past memories, and remain in unforgiveness, we either become withdrawn and unsociable; or explosive, cranky, critical, judgmental, contaminating, reactive and mean towards others.

If this is where you are at this moment, You are mentally and emotionally messed up, confused and in so much bondage.

You are, tightly held in an emotional prison. Holding on, refusing to let go, unable to forgive, this behavior will steal your future. You are stuck in stagnant murky darkness.

This causes us to hang onto extra weight, hoard things that we do not need, wear a lot of black, become a loner, or become agoraphobic, and to fall into a deep depression and in pain.

All pain is a warning, telling us there is something wrong with us. Being grateful for that leads us to the solution. However if we are not listening to the warnings, problems will continue to magnify and grow.

As long as you stay in this dark place, you will not be able to sustain a new relationship, because you will continue to act upon all your conditioned responses to past events.

Bringing them into new relationships is self-sabotage.

It does not matter how many times you say you are going to bury the hatchet and start fresh, you will leave the axe handle sticking up so the you can drag it up again. This is unacceptable behavior. You are hurting an innocent person who has absolutely nothing to do with your past.

These behaviors are often a way of hiding from past hurtful events.

Your inner self is crying out; trying to tell you that “Letting Go Is Healing” - but you are not listening.

The real you wants to get out of prison. The real you is calm, kind, peaceful and loving - but you have buried that person.

You must wake up and shake yourself off before it is too late. Take responsibility for your part in this; be accountable to yourself and to the invisible universal chief of this world, The one that we cannot see, where all the spiritual solutions are.

By choosing to live in this unforgiving state of mind, you have paralyzed yourself and put your life on hold.

You are allowing yourself to accept a life sentence of misery and pain for what someone else has done to you.

Recognize it!

Admit it!

Choose to change this immediately!

Stop talking about the person, or persons, and what they did to you. Every time you repeat it, you are extending your sentence.

Always remember it is their problem and they will pay the consequences for their actions. They have created a karmic debt that has to be paid. Throw it up to the heavens. Begin letting go and God will take care of it for you.

The only reason you are still in this pain is that you are choosing to stay in it. By refusing to forgive, you are giving away your personal power. Make a decisio
NOW to take back your power. Do you want to be pitiful or power filled?

Affirm to yourself:

I am free.
I am free.
I am free.

Write on a piece of paper all the pain that was inflicted upon you and how much it hurt you. Pour it all out like a river. Get it all out of you and onto the paper. Then tear it all up into little pieces, throw it in the trashcan, put the lid on it and say aloud.

“Good riddance to bad rubbish because that’s all it is - rubbish.”

Forgiveness is for you! FORGIVENESS is for your healing!

Forgiveness is not about the perpetrator, it is about you becoming free from the emotional issues, which are blocking you from becoming a happy, successful, prosperous individual.

You never have to see that person ever again if it is too painful for you. Do a 180-degree turn and never look back. Let your pain from the past be gone forever. Throw it up to the heavens.

Do it for yourself. You are worth it. You are a V.I.P. You have value, Identity and a Purpose for your life. You have the seeds of greatness planted on the inside of you, waiting to be nurtured and watered. Forgive and let go now. Do it for you. Forgive from your Heart. Forgive with your Soul. The very act of forgiveness will heal you. You will become complete and whole.

Say, “ I am now free to live my life as it is meant to be lived.” Say it with complete conviction. This is the way to wholeness and freedom.

Look at your life through new eyes of Love, Acceptance, and Compassion. Open wide your heart, Learn to forgive.

When you look at yourself in the mirror, You are looking at the person responsible for your Health and Happiness, Love yourself.

Learn the universal laws and live by them.

Be Positive Always. Be the Master over your Mind, your Emotions, and your Senses.

Thoughts create Reality, so please choose your thoughts wisely.

Your words truly are your magic wand, Speak kind loving words.

As you think and speak today, so it will become for you in your future.

Learn how to Live the Impersonal Life.

Live always with Hope. Hope is likened to the sun. As we face it, hope casts the shadow of our burdens behind us!
Face your past NOW and cast it permanently behind you.

Affirmation: “ All is well in my life right now.”

A wise man once said; “The mind may wander, but let not the senses wander with it. If the senses wander where the mind takes them, one is done for.”(Mohandas Gandhi.)

“We are each of us Angels with only one wing and we can only fly by embracing one another."(Luciano de Crescenzo.)

Think deeply on this analogy of forgiveness!

“When someone in a native village causes the death of another, they put him into a boat and push it out to sea to face his own death. If the living grieving person of the victim goes out in the ocean and brings him back to live, they will live a happy peaceful life. Alte
atively, If they let them drift off in the ocean to die, they will live out their entire life in grief.”

What do you think you would do?

Where are you today in your humanity?

Could you forgive them?
Think of forgiveness as a snowplow, re-opening the road and removing all barriers, leaving the past behind, making a path to freedom and permitting your new positive creative life to begi
NOW.

Looking now at your new life, through eyes of love, and with a forgiving heart.
May you be greatly blessed for your courage.
