Make like a leaf and...

Let it go.

The experts at Living Self Care remind us to grab a second and take a little lesson about this changing fall season.  (portions here are excerpted from their original blog post)

We are fortunate to enjoy a beautiful autumn in Ohio with the colors of the changing leaves. And then what happens? The leaves fall. The trees shed their leaves to allow for new growth in the spring.

Hmmm, letting go of something that doesn't serve you well? What a great idea. Are you feeling guilty about a recent mistake?  Fretting about getting through that long to-do list?  Holding on to a worry or anger?

Step outside and feel the cool air for a minute.  Or take a second to glance out the window.  Do you see how effortlessly the leaves let go?  Let this inspire you to let go of something that isn't serving you anymore.  Jot that something (or somethings if you're feeling really inspired!) down on a piece of paper - whatever comes to mind - without judging or censoring it. Now crumble it, watch it fall to the trash and release it from you.

Share in the magic of fall.  It's time to release the old to make way for the new.
