In order to let new things in we have to let old things go. Sounds easy doesn’t it but it can be difficult to let go of the unwanted but familiar. I spent many years believing that crying was a weakness and prided myself on my “toughness” and not being one of “those women” that cry in the workplace - ooh the shame!
Now I get it, I understand just how important it is to have a good cry. Just like a good laugh it releases tension and you can end up feeling a lot better than before the release. Tears quite literally cleanse your soul and let old stored emotions rise to the surface to be released. Although, I now cry at nearly everything I still have my moments where I feel like I want to cry but can’t. It’s an old habit and sometimes my body kicks into supression mode by default and I’m left in this odd limbo like state where I can’t move forward properly until the release has happened.

I LOVE the wisdom of Abraham Hicks! The way they phrase things, the simplicity and clarity of the analogies they use just lead me to an avalanche of a-ha moments. I was recently listening to a recording of an Abraham Hicks workshop and was given this little nugget of wisdom of from my main man Abe!
In answer to the question “how do you get from where you are now to where you want to be?”, Abraham said “focus on where you are heading and never look back.” How simple! At face value you might think it’s a little too simple. But I’m reminded of a quote that went something like “the Truth is simple, if it were complicated everyone would live by it.”

X-Factor (UK’s American Idol) started here last weekend here and although I’m not a big fan, I do love to watch the 1st few episodes for the good belly laughs it brings, and my God did I laugh! Shows like X-Factor and American Idol are about dreams and where there are dreams there are emotions. I felt as though I felt all emotions in an hour. One minute I was laughing my head off, the next I’m crying, next minute I am cringing with embarassment on someone else’s behalf.
However, as funny it is to laugh at the self-deluded who truly believe they can sing and quite clearly can’t, I was also overcome with emotion for the mega-talented who lack the confidence and awareness of just how talented they are. And it reminded me of all of us. How many of us are really fully aware of our talents and capabilities? What special gifts do you have to offer the world that you are playing small on?
