“Let Go to Grow”


It is the last few weeks of the year - time to let go of the events and emotions of 2011 and move into a new cycle. Like a snake shedding its skin, it is a great time to let go of all that old stuff. I certainly have things I’d like to let go from 2011. I don’t know if I’m having a mid-life crisis or what, but I want to reinvent myself. I want to be more of who I truly am, more often. Eckhart Tolle talks about “Role vs. Function”. What do we say or do just because we are playing the role of parent, spouse, boss - whomever? We so easily and frequently label ourselves: “I’m a teacher, I’m a lawyer, I’m an accountant, mother, wife, father, or brother. Or we own all sorts of things: “I am angry, I am depressed, I have MS, PMS, PTSD". But at what point does the label/role we are playing become the initiator of how we act? Can we choose to be authentic and function in the most balanced way for the current situation? Can we be “legit” and respond (not react) to the situation from that present moment, without our tag-along past? (Those are some big, heavy bags! UFF-DA.) A new year sounds like the perfect time to act like a snake and shed our skins. It’s time to let go of all the stuff that isn’t the true us; all that doesn’t serve who we are right now.

Our world isn’t going to change until we do.

“This business of freeing oneself from the weight of long-held emotional distresses isn't for sissies.” - Leigh Fortson

Our buddy, Leigh Fortson (Embrace, Release, Heal: An Empowering Guide to Talking about, Thinking about and Treating Cancer) was interviewed on CBS’ Sunday Morning. See the segment here: http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7389702n&tag=mncol;lst;1

The following is part of Leigh’s blog on the Huffington Post website.

“That stress levels affect our physical well-being is nothing new, but wasn't touched upon in the show. Dr. David Felten, a researcher at Beaumont Hospitals, discovered the pathway between the brain and body to establish the widely accepted science called psychoneuroimmunology. Simply put, it's the science explaining that when our thoughts or feelings are rooted in love, joy, compassion, hope and so on, our brains release chemicals that boost our immune system. Likewise, when we're in the throes of negativity as expressed through anger, hatred, blame, fear and so on, other chemicals are released that suppress our immune system. This should be proof positive that how we feel matters.”

We at Hopeology KNOW this to be true. Thoughts were a big piece of Anne’s puzzle of wellness and continue to be a major avenue for both of us staying healthy. This truth may not be widely accepted right now, but it is coming!
