Here's a great article by one of my newsletter, hope you guys find it helpful:
Why You Need to Let Go and Move Forward.
We all go through positive and negative experiences during our lives.
Unfortunately, most of us hang on to or constantly recall the
unpleasant or negative
situations - some of which go back years or even all the way back to
childhood.
Other unpleasant or negative experiences may have happened yesterday or
6 months ago.
Something someone did may have angered you, caused you to build up
resentment,
seek revenge, etc.
When we hold on to these negative experiences we actually block our
ability to
move forward.
When you hang on to a negative or unpleasant experience - when you
don't let go of it -
then you are naturally thinking about it constantly - it is something
that is
regularly on your mind.
When you constantly think about that negative event or negative
situation you
prevent yourself from moving forward and healing.
I'm not talking about memories - we all have memories. But how many
memories do you recall
regularly? How many pleasant memories do you recall everyday?
Chances are you're like most people and you have a number of unpleasant
experiences
that you're holding on to, and that prevents you from moving forward.
These negative experiences can be a traumatic event that took place
during your
childhood or a fight you had with a friend which resulted in a grudge
that you carry -
and because of that grudge you no longer speak to each other.
These are the kinds of things many people carry - the more you carry
the worse life gets -
it's that simple.
Why?
Because you've filled your mind up with negative experiences - because
you continually
hang on to something that doesn't allow you to move forward.
You're carrying useless baggage that's really slowing you down.
Think of it this way - you're on a hiking trip and along the way you
keep picking up
heavy objects, things that really don't serve you - but you want to
hang on to.
After a while - these objects begin to weigh on you - they slow you
down and unless you
get rid of them - you'll never get to where you want to go.
You can begin to let go by simply getting your mind to focus on
something different.
It's not about saying: I let go of the pain from my fight with ---- and
move on.
That will help - but if you really want to start moving on - then you
have to get
your mind to focus on new things - in the process you automatically let
go of the negative events
and situations that have been slowing you down.
Start focusing on what you want to happen.
Let go of the past and and negative situations by getting your mind to
focus on different things.
Direct your subconscious mind to help you let go by giving it new
instructions.

How Not Letting Go Can Ruin Your Health
Today, researchers are looking into how holding on to negative feelings
and emotions
impacts the nervous system and human cells.
They believe that if you hold on to negative feelings and sad emotions
or depressing
memories there's a chance that you could reshape the human cell - to
the point where your
thoughts of the past have a negative impact on your cells and your
physical health.
Hanging on to negative past events can destroy your life in ways you're
not even aware of.
Sure there have been negative things that have happened - I'm not
asking you to ignore them -
acknowledge them - they did happen.
But ask yourself these questions: Do they serve you any purpose? Do
they help you move forward?
Do they work in your favor in any way?
If you said no to any or all of the above questions then tell yourself
this:
This emotion/feeling doesn't help me so I'm letting it go and focusing
on what is important.
Then begin focusing on what you want next - focus on what is important
and what can improve
your life.
When you do what I just outlined you get your mind moving in a new
direction.
At the same time you stop building negative energy that you created
from the negative
events/emotions - that negative energy only attracted more negative
situations.
When you begin focusing on more positive things and focus on what you
want you begin
shifting that energy and start attracting positive situations to help
you create the life you want.
The next step is to create a new action plan - let's face it the past
is over - so what next?
Where do you want to go now?
How do you plan to get there?
You may not have the answers to all these questions - but merely
thinking about the options
and the future - forces your mind to go in a new direction.
When you do this - you automatically let go of unwanted feelings and
emotions.
For example: Let's say you have a fight with a friend - and you're
angry - what now?
What do you want to happen next? Carrying that anger and resentment no
longer helps you and doesn't
serve any positive purpose - so you choose to let go of it.
But what about your relationship with your friend - do you want to
continue with it?
Do you want to improve it? Do you want to set the record straight?
Do you want to move on and forget about it?
Holding a grudge is not an option. Trying to make that persons life
miserable is not an option. Trying to get revenge is not an option.
Why not?
Because those actions are driven by emotions - which you just chose to
let go of -
so what's next in the relationship?
When you make that decision - you've already let go and begun moving
forward.
If you had a traumatic experience as a child and continually re-live
that experience
then choose to let go of it. Then ask yourself - what now? What next?
Do you want to focus on
your life now - and if so what aspects?
When you do this you've moved the mind away from the past, you've let
go of unwanted emotions/feelings
and you're taking the next step - which is moving forward.
Your success will depend on how you train your mind and subconscious
mind to focus
on what you want.
Start moving forward by choosing to let go of unwanted and negative
situations or
events that you remember.
Start moving in a new direction by focusing on what you want.
Begin taking steps to create the life that you want.

Live In The Present
The final step is to live in the present moment - that is; to start
living in the now.
Some of you may have heard of this before - but living in the now is
different than living
for the moment. Living in the now is the process of enjoying everything
that is going on at this
present moment. It means creating your future in the present moment -
while still enjoying everything that is happening.
Take a look around you and appreciate those things that you once
thought were trivial.
Take some extra time to enjoy a few moments of the day - doing
something completely different -
but really putting all of yourself into it.
When you are here now - you can be nowhere else.
You are not hanging on to something - you are not holding on to a past
event you are here now.
I know some of you may say the following:
"But Karim, where I am right now really sucks - I don't want to think
about it."
Where you are now is unpleasant because you're looking at all the
negative things going on.
Focus on a few of the positive things - anything from nature to the
wonderful family
you may have. This forces your mind to look at things differently - and
tells your
subconscious mind that you're ready for new possibilities.
Start living in the present moment.
Begin appreciating all of the things that are positive in your life.
Force yourself to focus on the positive aspects of your life.
Chose to let go of the negative events that are holding you back.

direction. Start today - visit:

How You Can Let Go
If you're still trying to figure out whether you're holding on to
something that's not
helping you then do the following:
Take note of your thoughts, what are you thinking about regularly?
Do these thoughts help you?
Are you hanging on to something that no longer serves you?
Can you focus on something more positive and productive?
If so what?
Keep a list and see what you come up with. Then change your thoughts
when you think about the negative past.
Track your thoughts.
Change thoughts that don't work for you.
Eliminate thoughts that focus on the past.
Begin letting go by pushing your mind and subconscious
mind in a new direction
