Perhaps what I need to let go of is the idea that letting go is a destination, a place I am trying to attatin.
I have leaned towards thinking of my letting go as a To Do List rather than a Process, that if I could tick the items off as I let them go, then I would eventually get where I wanted to go.
But it is not a list. It's not even a Path, at least not a path with an end! Rather, letting go is a lifelong Process of becoming, one that never ends...
I am tempted to reply, “Want a list?”

But it is not a list. It’s not even a Path, at least not a path with an end! Rather, letting go is a lifelong Process of becoming, one that never ends. It may ebb and flow, with more to let go of at certain times, but there will always be something new to learn — and thus something old to let go.
Today, I’m letting go of the pressure to be perfect. No matter what I do, I am more than enough. I don’t need to use my precious, limited energy worrying about being perfect all of the time.
After 8 days at home with the virus of the moment I’m venturing forth. I need to let go of ambition for this day and
be slow and attentive so I don’t slide into doing too much!
I feel that I’m having to let go of so much, lately: Beautiful Fredericksburg, so many comfort foods. And, yet, there’s all this clutter, things that have outlived their usefulness, things that are unloved by whomever brought them here and have no place. Have you ever wished for flood or fire; a minor catastrophe that clears your path of everything that no longer serves you?
I wrote the story of my life recently, a memoir of about 40,000 words. The story has been festering inside. Now that it is written, I feel I can finally let go of the pain and anger. I can see in retrospect the lessons I learned and how it all led me to the beautiful life I have today.
The desire to do or be something amazing.
La rabia y el enojo. la timidez de decir lo que quiero y siento

love that reply Aine, letting go as a process.
Totally with you, Aine!
Im struggling to let go, maybe it will take some time
Oh, yes, it always takes time!
Everything that’s bugging me. The bugging bit I mean, because it’s the wrong attitude to take to a problem.
Perfection and fear.
the fear of amplifying my message.
Today, I’m letting go of the pressure to be perfect. No matter what I do, I am more than enough. I don’t need to use my precious, limited energy worrying about being perfect all of the time.
The perceptions of others regarding my self-worth and character.
Fear and resentment.
Resentment.
I am going to let go of my workplace frustrations.
What can I let go of today?RUMI Says it so well! One line of poetry covers all that requires “let go” of!“
Break the Wine Glass and fall towards the Glass Blowers breath”.

Today I want to let go of my longstanding negative feelings towards …….
After 8 days at home with the virus of the moment I’m venturing forth. I need to let go of ambition for this day and

My hot buttons. You know the ones that only take a gentle breeze to push!
Let go of fear .Fear that I am not enough and as a consequence often saying no but wanting to say yes. .
I wrote the story of my life recently, a memoir of about 40,000 words. The story has been festering inside. Now that it is written, I feel I can finally let go of the pain and anger. I can see in retrospect the lessons I learned and how it all led me to the beautiful life I have today.
Today I can let go of my concern for a future appointment by focusing in the moment. I can practice mindfulness and journal.
