Frustrated/Overwhelmed/Exhausted? How to let it go.

Like me, you probably juggle all of these emotions. It’s more than we can handle as humans. Heck, just to be human is often more than we can handle. Family, work, social… when do we find time for sleep or exercise or just lazing around? Those last three are probably most important. Yet there aren’t enough hours in the day for them. I’m not sure there’s enough for either of the first three, either. It is rare that I leave any task/meeting/accomplishment feeling that it’s complete. There’s always loose ends. Those loose ends add up. I’ve got boxes and storage sheds and folders and hard drives full of ‘em. I’m tired. Are you? Let’s let go. Let’s get rid. Let’s clean out and clear out. How, when, where, why? Now. Today. Bit by bit. Whenever possible. At all times in between. Will there come a time when I’m caught up? I’m seriously starting to doubt it. How about you? I can’t believe the stresses that exist in life. Insurmountable: that’s the only fitting description I see. You? I hope to conquer this. I pray I’ll get there. But boy there’s a lot in the way. I’ve got too much. I need to admit defeat every now and again and let go. Give myself permission. You can do this, too. Give those things in the garage away. At the back of your closet, find those items ready for a new home and donate them to a worthy cause. Clutter has to go. No more hidden away stuff. No more places to hide. Just let it go. Bring it into the light. Let it go. Bring it in from the garage. Let it go. Bring it out of storage. Let it go. Clothes. Dishes. Cooking utensils. Linens. Sporting equipment. Honey-do’s you gave yourself. Let them go. Say goodbye. Enjoy the process. There’s relief in letting ‘em go. There’s joy in unburdening yourself. Weirdly, there’s a sense of accomplishment in saying it’s okay to have not finished that. Or followed through. Or remembered that it existed. Sometimes we just need to say it’s okay. That can be our form of lazing about. Let it go.
