To
be healthy we have to be discerning. We need to rid ourselves of all
the things we have outgrown. If we hold onto what no longer is healthy
the new things, opportunities and loves cannot track us down because we
will be blocked. If we live holding on, our lives become unsettled, so
we have to trust our instincts when choosing to set boundaries. When we
become discerning we realize we are responsible for loving and
protecting ourselves. No one else can do this for us. Our emotional
safety is our business. To become discerning we must look at a
confusing decision in this way: If it doesn't feel right, it's NOT
right--at least not for you. If you don't feel right about something,
pay attention. It is an easy habit to talk yourself into feeling right
about something that is no longer right, or to talk yourself out of
doing something self-protective due to the fear of loss or rejection.
Your insides know. If it doesn't feel good, then it's not right. When we
are discerning we are listening, looking, analyzing and paying close
attention. Our hearts deserve this kind of love so we can rightfully
protect them. If something in your life isn't honoring you, then it
simple doesn't deserve a seat at your table. It is healthy to let go.
There is no need to compromise your grace, your dignity and your hard
fought for self-loving skills for someone or something that does not
have your best interest at heart. Have a beautiful Monday.
