Today I spent the morning “Purging my closets”. Through-out all my weight loss journeys, I’ve rarely let go of the clothes that no longer fit for fear I may need them again. The other week in one of our Weight Watchers meetings, we talked about organizing and one of the things was getting rid of old clothes. This honestly sent a wave of panic through me as I thought to myself, “what if I do finally let them go and I fall off the wagon and need them”. It took me all this time to work my way through it in my head and I finally came up with the conclusion that if I hang on to my old clothes, than I am keep the energy of needing them there and I want to finally release it as. Not only will cleaning my closets make was for new to enter my life (as it always does when we release stuff), it will help someone else who will be needing clothes and the money will allow me to purchase some new items but it will also help me make the commitment to NOT let myself get back to that weight again. I need to commit to not allowing my weight to creep up there and if I don’t have the clothes in the back of my closet, than I don’t have anything to fall back on. I will tell you after I cleaned out both my closets, the energy in my bedroom felt a whole lot clearer. I ended up filling two garbage bags full! A trick I read years ago was to hang your clothes on the hanger so that the hanger is backwards on the rod (hook facing the front rather than the back) and once you wear it reverse the hook. Anything that isn’t reversed in a year gets donated or re sold.
This week I’ve been having a few health issues and after seeing my fabulous Reflexologist, I had a lot of “aha moments” (funny I tell my clients all these things when I give my Reflexology sessions, yet I seem to forget it all when it comes to myself). I’ve been bloated and “full feeling” to the point of discomfort and I realized during my session that I am not wanting to “release” and “let go” of some things in my life and it’s manifesting as this in my body (Louise Hay – You can heal your life book will explain it all). When a client comes in, I can tell through their feet when they are doing the same. I’m also holding grief in and not wanting to let go of that either, which is manifesting in my lung point on my feet (where we hold it). Remember, grief is not only losing someone, it can be so many things including losing an animal, yourself/identity, a job, a friendship, relationship, anything that makes you sad to let go of, not just in death. I know the grief and bloating is also my body’s way of showing me I am not wanting to “let go” of my son, knowing we will be finding out in the next month where he will be going for schooling and I am holding on to it/him so it’s causing havoc on my body. At the end of the Reflexology session I began to remember (as I missed my last apt) just how my clients feel after they leave me. I was so relaxed I could have fallen asleep right then. I also was able to release some of the “junk” I was holding on to through awareness, relaxation, deep breathing and my Reflexologist working on me, I literally felt my legs “let go” and the energy went out the bottoms of my feet. This was also a HUGE reminder for me to MAKE the time again for these monthly appointments as my Body/Mind/Spirit NEED them!
What do you need to “let go of” in your life? What is your body telling you?
