HOW TO LET GO & GROW
I was reading some articles and here is a summary. In the enxt two to
three days, I will share the links to the related sites.

When you have to get over it, a lot of times it feels impossible.
Realize that part of what hurts is not reality. It's the pain of
losing the picture you've kept creating in your own mind of how
wonderful things would have been.
CHOOSE to create different pictures. Be positive and listen to
positive songs such as Listen to Mariah Carey's A Hero. Always
remember that pain is necessary and suffering is optional. It's always
YOUR choice.

Happy people let go of old emotional baggage.

What is old emotional baggage?

Old baggage is emotional stuff we carry around with us for days,
months or years. It is usually negative like old hurts, resentments,
anger or some kind of pain inflicted by another person. It can also be
just carrying around some old guilt, failure or fear.

Why do people hold on to all of these old feelings? Everyone moves
through life with their own very personal agendas, needs and life
issues. Old baggage starts to feel very comfortable after a while, so
comfortable as a matter of fact many people die never able to let go
of these hurts, slights and pain.

There is one very good reason to let go of all of this baggage. One of
the major causes of stress today is suppressed emotions that fester in
the body taking their eventual toll on some aspect of our physiology.
One of the biggest causes of stress today is all of this old baggage.
So why let it go? It may kill you if you don't.
