Are you stuck?

Life asks us to constantly evolve and reinvent ourselves if we truly wish to grow. So why can it be so hard to let go of the past? This typically has a lot to do with our sense of identity- we can essentially become addicted to an outdated vision of ourselves because we haven’t yet figured out how to assume the updated version. It’s like if we take off the old clothes and haven’t yet received the new ones then we’re stuck being naked.

But sometimes we need to allow ourselves to be uncomfortable in order to let go of the past.

Will you allow yourself to be free? Consciously we all say yes. In practice it’s sometimes a bit more challenging. We have to truly be able to cut our ties to our old identity without having the new one clearly defined just yet. We know where we would like to go but until we’re there we have to trust.
