Question: What are you holding onto, that may no longer serve you? Perhaps in the past, a relationship, a job, or even emotions served you well, however, today these same things might drain your energy.

You may have found comfort in your past- souvenirs, memories, or traditions. You fondly remember your birthday vacations with friends. You framed and displayed photos of you and then your boyfriend in multiple rooms in your apartment. All your friends know holidays are your favorite time of year. Fast forward to the present moment. The past is exactly what it is— it only exists in the past. It exists as a recording in your head. Your present might be an argument with your best friend, a boyfriend who dumped you a year ago, or the passing of a loved one near the holidays. How can fond memories be stark reminders of pain that exists in your life today? How long are you going to carry reminders of your past? More importantly, do these mementos serve your greatest good?
