Are you holding on to something you need to let go of?

When we hold on to something emotional from our past it continues to harm our lives. For years after I left my company I had horrible feelings towards my ex-boss that just tormented me, once I finally decided to let it go things were a lot better. Are you holding on to something you need to let go of?

I am sure we all are, though whether we can admit it to even ourselves is another question entirely. I know after my husband and I split it took a great deal of time for me to go through the process of everything and finally get angry enough to say "forget you." It took a lot longer then I'd like to admit, and I'd be a fool if I didn't say I still have.. emotions towards it, but he was my first love and no one forgets their first love. Another thing I suppose I hold on to emotionally are ordeals that have to do with family and while I can't pinpoint an exact one, I do realize it is the cause of some of my hard feelings towards family and the reason why I tend to distance myself and am as closed / personal as I can be.

Yes most of the time we hold onto things that happen in the past and resists us to increase in life. I have known it but still was not practicing it. Now I will do it in life and i will tell my husband to let go of the things he has from past. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

No I am not the kind of person who holds onto grudges, life is too short for that.

You are write, sometimes holding on something creates more trouble for us. Both emotionally and physically. Thats why it is better to let go of.. So that we can move ahead freely..

Of course the wondering of why my sister in law just does not like us. She makes no sense, and spreads lies all of the time. My husband says to let go, his family has been this way for years, but my family hasn't so it is hard to let go.
