I’m feeling a little bummed today. I guess it’s one of those days when I can’t really figure out what to do. I’m at a point in my life right now where I’m trying to let go of the past and move on. But you know how it is, sometimes we have this tendency to resist change. We’re reluctant to let go of something that we’ve been so used to, and try something else… something new.

Sometimes I have this tendency to cling to things that are comfortable and familiar. I do welcome change, but I’m scared to let go of the old and familiar. It’s an annoying habit, really. I wish sometimes I could just throw cautions to the wind and just do something completely new and out of the ordinary. I think it’s the age-old reason that it’s better to have the old and familiar, than nothing at all. At least, there’s always this safety net that you can fall back in, right?

I know it’s not healthy, and I know life is too precious for me to just “SETTLE”. I’m trying to work through that and to remind myself always that change can be a good thing too. And that life without risks is not worth living anyway. There are days when I’m feeling all revved up and my mind is made up, and I’m ready to take the jump. But other days, it’s not so easy.

Nevertheless, it’s definitely something that I should continue to try to do. Maybe someday I’ll learn to finally let go of the old, and embrace the new. I am so looking forward to it.

How about you… do you have any problems letting go of the old and familiar things in your life? I sure could use some tips.
