from the book The Language of Letting Go
Clearing the Slate
One of the greatest gifts we can give is an open, loving heart. And holding on to negative feelings from past relationships is our greatest barrier to that gift.
Most of us have had relationships that have ended. When we examine these relationships, we need to clear the emotional slate. Are we holding on to anger or resentments? Are we still feeling victimized? Are we living with the self-defeating beliefs that may be attached to these relationships - Women can't be trusted.... Bosses use people.... There is no such thing as a good relationship....
Let go of all that may be blocking your relationships today. With great certainty, we can know that old feelings and self-defeating beliefs will block us today from giving and getting the love we desire. We can clear the slate of the past. It begins with awareness, honesty, and openness. The process is complete when we reach a state of acceptance and peace toward all from our past.
Today, I will begin the process of letting go of all self-defeating feelings and beliefs connected to past relationships. I will clear my slate so I am free to love and be loved.
This was interesting to read this morning. I have to admit I have been struggling with Chad being gone and not hearing from him for days at a time. I have not wanted to admit to others that I send him text or messages, call and he does not answer or respond for fear that it would put him in a bad light. I do not know what he is doing or why he is treating me and our relationship with such neglect. I feel ignored.
But I do know that this has opened the floodgates of my fears and past disappearances of men in my life. Men Disappear (I wrote this in a blog over 4 years ago ... still true today) Chad becomes angry when I share my fears of him disappearing. Not sure why he gets angry. Not sure if he is disappearing to. Just know, I need to clear the slate of this fear for whatever relationship is in my future.
