During our journey through life there will be lots of ups and downs. Along the way there will be things that upset, annoy and bother us.

If we hang on to those big and little things that get us down or upset, we can easily throw ourselves of track and in the end make our lives even more difficult.

When you hang on to the past, when you keep thinking about all that went wrong, all that upset you, all that annoyed you and all that just

didn’t work out the way you wanted, you end up creating a lot of negative energy.

That negative energy just attracts more negative situations, more things to annoy and upset you.

Along with that negative energy you also generate more and more negative thoughts which just bring you down, make you feel bad and add to the negativity that you continue to experience.

Those bad memories, bad relationships, that resentment, anger and those negative experiences you’re holding on to need to be released, discarded and dumped into the trash along with yesterday’s news.

Thinking about those negative events gets you down, and they’ll destroy your chance for success and happiness. There’s no need to hang on to them.

You may not realize this but ever every time you think about the past you bring up more pain, more anger, and they make you feel sad or get you down, maybe even depressed.

With all those negative feelings consuming you there’s just no way you can be happy and you destroy any chance of getting what you want or succeeding because you’re living in the past. Your power can’t create a better life for you now because you’re not here; you’re stuck in the past.

Sure you can say: “Just let go – move forward, forget about it, just let go.”

But that’s easier said than done.

So let go of unwanted events, emotions and situations, passed or present that are holding you back. Then you’ll start living the life you want. You’ll experience greater happiness and begin moving forward.

If you’re hanging on to a negative or unpleasant experience then you’re naturally thinking about it regularly. It may fill your mind for most of the day. It may be all that you think about and it gets you down.

When that happens you prevent yourself from moving forward and healing.

Think about this for a moment; how many pleasant memories do you recall everyday?

Chances are you’re like most people and you have a number of unpleasant experiences that you’re holding on to, and when you hang on to them, when you keep thinking about them, you prevent yourself from moving forward.

These negative experiences can be something as minor as a fight you had with a friend which resulted in a grudge that you carry and because of that grudge you no longer speak to each other.

The more you negative experiences you carry and hang on to, the worse life gets, it’s that simple.

You’re carrying useless baggage that’s really slowing you down.

Think of it this way; you’re on a hiking trip and along the way you keep picking up heavy objects, things that really don’t serve you but you want to hang on to.

After a while these objects begin to weigh on you, they slow you down and unless you get rid of them you’ll never get to where you want to go.

You can begin to let go by simply getting your mind to focus on something different.

Think of positive events.

Think of positive experiences.

Think about how you want to improve your life and start taking steps to make the changes.

Doing this pushes your mind in a new direction and gives your subconscious mind a new set of instructions.

You basically tell yourself and your subconscious mind that you’re moving on and ready for more positive situations in life.

Your subconscious then helps you by directing you to the people and situations that will allow you to move forward and enjoy life.

It’s not about saying: “I let go of the pain from my fight with —- and move on.”

That will help but if you really want to start moving on then you have to get your mind to focus on new things and in the process you automatically let go of the negative events and situations that have been slowing you down.

When you focus on more positive things and focus on what you want you begin shifting that energy and start attracting positive situations to help you create the life you want.

The next step is to create a new action plan.

Let’s face it the past is over so what next?

Where do you want to go now?

How do you plan to get there?

You may not have the answers to all these questions, but merely thinking about the options and the future forces your mind to go in a new direction.

When you do this you automatically let go of unwanted feelings and emotions.

Start focusing on what you want to happen.

Let go of the past and negative situations by getting your mind to focus on different things.

Direct your subconscious mind to help you let go by giving it new instructions.

You are a powerful person; you can and will achieve all that you want. You just have to give your subconscious mind power new instructions and new directions. You just have to let go of the past and all those unwanted memories that bring you down. Today you take charge and you let go.
