Learn to let go... Sarah Jio
If the past is holding you back, use this advice to make peace and move on...
When something ends unexpectedly-relationship, a job-it's natural to crave an explanation, and with it, closure. I know this from experience: A few years ago, a very good friend cut me off completely. I was devastated, but worse, years later, I was still obsessing over whether I could have mended the rift. "Woman want to tie up loose ends because we have an irrational fear that letting something go means losing control," says Larina Kase, Psy.D., a life coach in Philadelphia. I tried Kase's tips to free me from thoughts about my ex-pal. Use this advice whenever you need to come to terms with uncertainty.
STEAL A PEARL OF WISDOM "Often we can't move on because we haven't yet learned what we're supposed to from a difficult situation," Kase says. After contemplating whether I'd actually gained some insight from my suffering, I realized I now have a clearer sense of what I need (support) and don't need (capriciousness) from my inner circle.
TAKE YOURSELF OUT OF IT Jot down all the reasons you should stop brooding, then circle the most convincing one, Kase suggests. The best argument on my list: "I need to invest this energy in people who are truly there for me." Repeat your statement to yourself if you start to stew.
DO A SLOW FADE When painful feelings inevitably arise, "think of the emotions as a song on the radio and turn the volume down low," Kase says. It's not about forcing the feelings away but acknowledging them, then shifting your focus to something more productive.
WRITE ON Express yourself on paper, then destroy the evidence. "You will send yourself the message that you've accepted the situation," Kays say. So I wrote a note telling my friend she'd hurt me. But before I shredded it, I realized I'd penned something shocking: "I forgive you." Knowing I had that capacity freed me, finally, to do just that.

Can she be anymore FULL of herself???!!!

Halloween ALREADY!!!
I've just had the most disturbing sight today walking into my local Michael's Craft store and Walgreen's!!! They already had FALL/Halloween decorations up on the shelves!!!!
It's July...maybe the end, but still the middle of summer. There is no reason to push the limit anymore...they have reached it!
Grant you I'm all for the Fall/Halloween season, it is my favorite time of year, but really this is ridiculous. I'm just getting myself all toasty and warm. Enjoying a few weekend getaways, working on my fake bake, and shedding a few of the pounds I acquired since last Fall/Winter.
I'm not going to complain, but gosh...can we get anymore crazy with rollin' out the holiday sooooo soon!
My 2cent!
