Hello, hello, hello! And welcome to this inagural blost post.  As strange as it may seem, I'm kicking off this blog as a quitter!

I'm a quiter.

I challenge you to be a quitter too!!

***If you are thinking, “but I'm not a quiter,” wait, hear me out!***

I'm a quitter and I'm proud of it becuase I'm giving up on something that I've been using for a long time.  Something that has been holding me back from putting myself out here and engaging.

This site, this concept, this has been inside of me for a LONG time.  The problem is I’ve haven’t been able to bring it to creation until now because I was holding on to something was not serving me well at all.

Excuses.

Excuses.

Excuses.

Such as:

I’m too busy.

I don't have time.

She’s already doing that… Darnit.  I just didn’t get here fast enough.

I don’t have the design ready yet.

I didn’t shoot my video yet… yada yada.

Great, I shot the video for this post and it is blurry… I have to REDO it.

I haven't check my links yet… They might be broken.

Did she proofread this content already? I can't remember…

Yeah, you get the idea… No more excuses. I quit on the excuses. I chucked the video for this post! And there might even be typos.  Gasp!

My bet is that you have something big brewing inside of you too – a dream, a business, an adventure, but there may be something holding you back.

Together, today, let’s LET GO of that thing that is holding YOU back.

Maybe it is an EXCUSE, maybe it is fear, or a relationship, a belief you hold, a habit, a behavoir…

Whatever it is let’s begin the process of letting it go so you can make way for your bigger better thing waiting on the otherside.

I've done it before and as I go through it right this very second, I can promise you letting go isn't always easy.

1) There may be some pain – I can almost guarantee it. Like me, I’ve excused away not launching this concept for years. Yes. Years. And right now I’m sweating bullets. Literally. But I promise you after doing it, I’m going to fell a million times better. Like I’ve accomplished something.

2) Does letting go mean you are giving up? Or in my case that things won’t be just perfect because I didn’t have everything in just the right order before stepping into this? Not at all. It is perfectly okay to let go of things that no longer serve you so you can make room for all the greatness that is to come. You owe that to yourself. You owe it to the world.

3) Do you think you might need to get rid of someone not something? If it is someone you need to let go of, well that’s not so easy. No. I clearly own my excuses. But relationships we have with people are a bit more difficult to let go of. Feel free to comment and we can engage on your specific scenario, but it is perfectly okay if you need to let go of someone that is causing you negative energy or thoughts that are keeping you from being your best you…. As the buddhist principles support and Richard said to Elizabeth in Eat Pray Love, when you think of the person you are letting go of send him or her light and love and move foward. If it is famly, well, yeah… comment below and we can banter.

4) Each day will get easier… It will. The further you step into the person you are supposed to be, thing will increasingly be more in sync and you’ll get your groove on in a big way.

5) How exactly do I “let go?” If it is thoughts you need to let go of, start retraining your brain by coaching and gently reminding yourself of what is replacing the old way of thinking.  In my case, I'm just stepping right into action.  If it is someone, it may warrant a loving conversation.

So…. What are you going to let go of today? Let me know in the comments.

If any of this resonated with you I'd love it if you share it!
