Is there a major life transition benching you? I know you may be asking what's next? What's my purpose? What if? Because I've asked those too. Welcome to the Start your Comeback Podcast. I'm Toni Thrash, a certified life coach, and I want to share the tools and practical steps to help you create a winning game plan to move into your new adventure. Hi, welcome back. You are listening to episode 51. I'm so glad you're here.
Speaker 1:Last week you heard me discuss the need to learn to listen to the sound of you. That means taking that first 20 minutes of the day to just listen, without any screens available. But this week I want to discuss the art of letting go. As a rule, as we learn to let go, we find we are more present in our reality and not in a brain fog. We see a shift happen. This shift is imperative if we are going to get past the junk. This shift and the following action steps are required before we can take the steps toward healing. We need, as we walk through transitions, letting go of our past, our mistakes or someone who no longer has the right to be there, or maybe a job has to happen before we can transition. Not letting go steals valuable time, energy and mental stamina from us. I'm learning to let go of some things that are sucking my time from me. They're good things, but I'm putting them on a shelf to return to later. It is a seesaw of emotions for me, as it will be for you. It's good for me to walk away and lean into new adventures.
Speaker 1:Here are three questions I want you to ask yourself when you are in this letting go step. Okay, the first one is are you ready to let go? If the answer is yes, then the next step is pure courage and risk. You've decided to leave behind what is no longer working for you. That's great. Then we can map it out and get ready to build that game plan. But if the answer is no, and yet you still have that nudge of saying I need to let this go, but you're not quite there, then there's still a little bit of work for you to do, and that's okay, there's no shame in this. Just do the work that you need to get you to the place that you need to be. Number two, then what are those steps for letting go? You see, this part of the process is a must mental exercise with your coach, because, as a coach, this is an important part because, as we move into the map it out stage in a couple of weeks, it will help to build that game plan to help you move forward.
Speaker 1:Number three how will you overcome the obstacles that challenge your letting go? People will say things because that's what they do, but you have to prepare how you will handle the unexpected obstacles. So it's good for us to actually maybe think of some of the obstacles that could pop in our way, and this is a brainstorming exercise to help you see where these obstacles are and to expect them. Please do not think that letting go just happens. It takes time and it's hard. The important thing is you have decided that this is no longer working for you and you are taking that imperative first step, which is a mental shift that will lead you down the path to your freedom.
Speaker 1:So here are three things I want you to start thinking about as you prepare to let go of something, someone or a job or whatever it is that you need to let go of, maybe just a bad habit. The first thing is this I want you to begin to expect the best possible outcome. Here's why If we don't have the expectation of the best possible outcome, then we stay stuck because our belief system is still in the muck and there's still fear attached. And what do those expectations look like? Write them down, glue them to a wall or tattoo them on your arm. Expecting leads to a mental shift, to know it is now time to let go.
Speaker 1:You see, when I pray, I expect God to answer. He has always answered. If that expectation wasn't there, then I have zero hope. Number two I want you to be kind to yourself. Turn off that noise and don't listen to the voice which always has had a negative reminder who do you think you are? You can't do that. You see, you can talk yourself out of anything, but I want you to now talk yourself into something that is healthy and rewarding, and sometimes we don't know what that is, and that is why we need a coach. And number three, finally, the last thing I want you to have is resolve that life doesn't have to be redundant. You have the choice to build a life, regardless of the transition, that is beautiful and fulfilling. You may not see it just yet. I see it and I believe in you. Sometimes that transition is the only way to get us to move out of the box that we've built around ourselves.
Speaker 1:Letting go is one of the hardest things we will ever do. It's painful, terrifying, it's beautiful and exhilarating. All of these emotions are essential to letting go. Let go of what you think needs to happen and trust in the process and how God changes your perspective. After all, any transition is always a letting go shift we need to make. Please let go of what people will think, because this is sure to keep you in on the bench and trapped.
Speaker 1:So, are you struggling with letting go of someone or something or a belief system that you had? I know firsthand that it is so hard and yet, with a new game plan, it's hopeful. I would love to be part of your journey to letting go, of your journey to letting go. I have a free discovery call and would love to discover with you the steps needed for you to let go and to move forward. Just hit the calendar link in the show notes and book that call now.
