that which no longer serves you

today at the end of my yoga class, we sat there in a sacred moment of silence and breathing. moments that we don't come by often in our day to day. and the instructor said something that brought a tear to my face.

and you know when you've heard something a hundred times, but you just hear it differently... you hear it at the right time... that was this morning. 

hands were open, heart was open, and she simply reminded us to

"let go of that which no longer serves you"

this isn't a new concept, but a reminder i didn't know i needed so badly until i really felt the permission and the heaviness of all that i've been holding.

holding on the grief and pain of love lost. holding onto hope that he might come around. hope that it might just work itself out today. holding onto the hurtful stories i've told myself throughout that relationship and since it's ending... desperately trying to make sense of this so called failure.

so, here's to another day, but a sense of release this time. a letting go of this burden that no longer serves me... and really never did.

it's time to really close the door. that doesn't mean it's locked... but it's closed, as it needs to be. it's closed so i can find the next door that i need to walk through. and so we go :)
