You don't have to carry around the weight of the past anymore. Kick that stuff to the curb because it doesn't serve you any longer.

Holding onto extra "weight" in your life can slow you down, cause unneeded stress and anxiety, keep you from making decisions and lead to stupid actions in all areas of your life.

Here are 4 ways to start shedding extra "weight" in your life:

1. Stop feeling sorry for yourself

2. Stop investing all of your thinking in the past.

3. Start focusing on today.

4. Forgive yourself for the mistakes you have made.

Where in your life can you incorporate one of these things and start to shed some extra "weight" today?
