Kaycee-Jo Rylie6 years agoKaycee-Jo RylieThe thoughts of inadequacy, the thoughts of not being good enough, not being pretty enough, not being smart enough or not being talented enough. I am constantly worried that people are judging me because I am inadequate. If I could let the thought that I am not good, smart, pretty, thin enough go then my world would be revolutionized.

The thoughts of inadequacy, the thoughts of not being good enough, not being pretty enough, not being smart enough or not being talented enough. I am constantly worried that people are judging me because I am inadequate. If I could let the thought that I am not good, smart, pretty, thin enough go then my world would be revolutionized. I want to travel the world I want to experience things without the worry that there is judgement going through the minds of every stranger that I run into that would completely shock my world. This is a thought that I am focusing on letting go of in 2018. I am ready for a revolution.

I’d be left with a clear mind and a joyful heart in the present. 0 Reply Keith6 years agoKeithA beautiful comment 0 Reply Thomas Mullen6 years agoThomas MullenI am free to choose to let go of the self judging thoughts that occurred to me during the night. Today is a new day filled with opportunities to bring light into the world. 1 Reply Ivonne6 years agoIvonneThe constant “to do list” running through my mind. 1 Reply Chia6 years agoChiaThat I will be alone….to deal with my health ….and that it will be hard. And that I should be sad of my situation and feel sorry for myself. 1 Reply June6 years agoJune“I should have done this, I should have done that, I should I should I should…” 1 Reply Mrie6 years agoMrieThat I’m powerless and I have to remember to live and let live. 1 Reply Lara6 years agoLaraI can let go of worry – worry about the future, worry about if I am ‘good enough’, worry that I am not doing enough, worry that I am doing too much. I can let go of the need to constantly be the best at everything I do, because it isn’t realistic and feeds my worry. 1 Reply Javier Visionquest6 years agoJavier VisionquestExpectation is the blueprint of our disappointment. 1 Reply Bree6 years agoBreeThe pain from my past. Working through the bad memories, forgiving myself for any of my wrong doings, actually believing and knowing that not everyone is out to be hurtful and cause pain to others. Letting go of bad stress, anxiety, negative energy, and any worrisome thoughts that aren’t helping me achieve my goals. 1 Reply Heather6 years agoHeatherWhen will the text come. Why hasn’t it come. What has happened. What terrible thing has happened. What is wrong. These anxious thoughts interfere with my presence here and now. I soon will be with Family rarely seen and those anxious thoughts will distract me. This is an opportunity to really be present in the moment. Focus on my breathing and let out anxiety with each exhale. I have the opportunity to develop patience and to build trust in a relationship that has only just begun. I have t... When will the text come. Why hasn’t it come. What has happened. What terrible thing has happened. What is wrong. These anxious thoughts interfere with my presence here and now. I soon will be with Family rarely seen and those anxious thoughts will distract me. This is an opportunity to really be present in the moment. Focus on my breathing and let out anxiety with each exhale. I have the opportunity to develop patience and to build trust in a relationship that has only just begun. I have to opportunity to enjoy the company of others who are here Read More1 Reply JRB6 years agoJRBWhat will they think? I wonder if they…. I hope that (something out of my control) goes/happens…. 1 Reply OLGA GAMBIS6 years agoOLGA GAMBISAs an artist having always a fragile material life, I would love to let go forever thoughts of fear in my future and fill my heart with faith and hope to enjoy and fully live the present moment. 1 Reply winston6 years agowinstonletting go of the thought how my future will be. Will i be with the one who i want to be with. Will i be able to grow the way i need to grow. The unknown future gives me anxiety. Just want to let go of all of them to be in the present. i have to learn to enjoy the present and do what is best at the moment. 1 Reply kathleen6 years agokathleenThoughts that are limiting in possibility, thoughts that make me or others small. Instead I”m going to try to notice these limiting belief systems and gently and kindly say I wont fight you, you can be there but I don’t have to believe you any more. Happy New Year everyone. Many blessings to us all. 1 Reply Malag6 years agoMalagThanks. I think that’s it for me. Fighting thoughts never worked for me. The allowance to be there, yes, (step one) and you don’t have to believe them (step two). I’ve got a lot better at step one and step two is a work in progress as I guess we are all! 0 Reply elina zavala6 years agoelina zavalaI want to let go of the pressure to be perfect. I want to enjoy the journey of growth, and the process of change. 1 Reply Becca6 years agoBeccaI want to let go of feelings of lack. I know that when I feel that something outside of my control is meaningless it’s because I’ve temporarily lost touch with gratitude. Meaninglessness terrifies me more than anything in the whole world. I want to let go of my perception of activities, people, and experiences as not good enough or missing something. I want to embrace everything with the knowledge that G-d is found there, always. 1 Reply Ose6 years agoOseAfter reading all your beautiful answers, I become aware that all these worries, fears, lacks you mentioned are present in me, too.

After reading all your beautiful answers, I become aware that all these worries, fears, lacks you mentioned are present in me, too. So rather than letting go of all thoughts, I now see the bunch of thorns in my flesh I can let go of in order to be more present in the moment. Quite some work to do… Please excuse my rather superficial first reply. Although I really believe that when being in the moment, thoughts are absent and love, compassion and happiness is present, in my first reply I avoided to be seen in my weaknesses and fears. I guess to be present and in the moment includes this all, but not as thought. I am not used to set goals or wishes at first of January, but if I should do this for now, this could may be an additional thought to let go of and to change it; to be seen in my weaknesses and fears as well as in my strengths. This is really tempting and frightens me, it is like living in a goldfish bowl. So according to the word for the day, with this, I go as far as I can go for love, for the moment being. Happy new year again to all. Read More0 Reply Sylvie6 years agoSylvieNice to see you, dear Ose ! Happy New Year ! 0 Reply Ose6 years agoOseThank you, dear Silvie, Happy New Year to you, too! 0 Reply John Turner6 years agoJohn TurnerSince I work from home (and my wife doesn’t), I’m a “house-husband.” I do all the cooking, and most of the cleaning, laundry, etc. It’s gotten to where I’m starting to micro-manage our household, and trying to control every little aspect of our lives at home. It’s creating unhealthy tension, and it’s something I need to work on: to love more, and worry less. 1 Reply Anna6 years agoAnnaHaving a flu, today I have no energy for planning…oh but maybe this is a sign…I decide that I don’t plan for 2018. Each moment is a gift, and it is my responsibility to admit this truth, minute by minute for this year and forever. All shall be well. This is my wish for everyone in this community. 1 Reply Palm6 years agoPalmThank you Anna for this reminder about living moment by moment and trusting that all shall be well, it is helpful, may you get well soon from your flu, I think you are right, our body gives us signs 1 Reply 1 2 Next » My Private Gratitude Journal Write an entry in your private gratefulness journal Get Started This site is brought to you by A Network for Grateful Living, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
