I could hear the blood rushing through my ears with every thud of my heart. My knuckles turned white as I gripped the steering wheel. It was partially an angry impulse and partially an attempt to stop my arms from shaking.
What set off this temper tantrum? It really is the most idiotic thing… someone cut me off in rush hour traffic.
Am I absolutely insane? Yes. It’s a human condition; I’m sure of it. We cling to all the wrong things for all the wrong reasons.
“Let it go,” has become a mantra in my life lately. So much that I’m daydreaming of a new tattoo.
Things to let go of:
– anger and resentment
– unconstructive criticism
– people who spread negativity
– the desire to be “right”
– fear of what others think of you
– fear of making mistakes
– fear of things different than what you’re accustomed too
– grudges old and new
– guilt for doing what makes you happy
– sentiment surrounding possessions
– the desire to win & the fear of losing
What do you wish you could let go of? Tell me below!
P.S. This post started out as a very long and detailed description of what happened to cause that road rage and the horrible thoughts that went through my head… obviously I hadn’t let it go yet. In retrospect I always realize the things I get angry about are just not worth the energy I put into them, so this post is my attempt to put my resentment to rest and avoid future ‘episodes.’ Thanks for reading =)
