She wisely pointed out that some things are easier to release than others, and I am inspired by the way she is actively practicing letting go in different areas of life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All humans have attachments. That\u2019s completely normal. However the more attached we are, the more we fight to hold on to the thing we are attached to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we become truly attached to something, we will fight to keep it even when it damages our wellbeing.&nbsp; The thought of losing it creates distress and anxiety. For example, for the alcoholic, the thought of living without daily alcohol may cause panic, even if she is aware that the alcohol is damaging her health in many ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some people remain in abusive relationships because they cannot imagine a life without the person who is abusing them. Some people choose to remain in extremely stressful jobs that cause health problems because they can\u2019t imagine earning their big salary any other way. We can become attached to all kinds of beliefs that create fear and anxiety. (I\u2019m not \u2018whatever\u2019 &#8211; smart, thin, rich, worthy, healthy, pretty, educated, experienced &#8211; enough.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An infinite variety of manufactured foods deplete our energy and damage our health. These have been designed specifically to be addicting in order to drive up corporate profits. People often reach for these addictive foods to soothe themselves long after we realize the effect that food is having on our health. It\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/cyndicombs.com\/coaching\/relief-through-release-playgroup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hard to give up a food<\/a> or an addiction that makes us feel better!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Habitual thoughts and behaviors can also limit our potential for optimum happiness and wellbeing. Judgement and self-criticism are two of the biggest limiting behaviors that humans develop by way of constant cultural conditioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Give it up!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I know it\u2019s not easy to release something that is woven into the fabric of our lives! However, I invite you to begin playing with letting go of whatever it is that\u2019s limiting you. If there is something you can\u2019t imagine your life without, I encourage you to begin imagining your life without it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"359\" src=\"https:\/\/cyndicombs.com\/coaching\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/butterfly.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9507\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyndicombs.com\/coaching\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/butterfly.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cyndicombs.com\/coaching\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/butterfly-300x180.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Play with letting go of judgement and criticism and see how it feels. What happens to your energy? Your mood? Imagine doing the kind of job that leaves you happy and satisfied at the end of the day. What would that look like for you? I\u2019m not asking you to figure out HOW to leave your crappy job and find a lucrative career you adore, I\u2019m just inviting you to imagine that it is POSSIBLE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Imagination is the first step of manifestation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Practice letting go of anything that no longer serves you. If your food choices are not helping you manifest optimum health, practice letting go of some of those foods for awhile to see how you feel. You can always go back to those foods later if you want, but at least allow yourself to experience what it\u2019s like to let them go for a few weeks. What\u2019s the worst that could happen? You might feel better!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you HATE to work out, and prefer being sedentary? Imagine yourself deeply enjoying some FUN kind of movement that feels good to your body. I\u2019m not asking you to go join a gym, I\u2019m asking you to imagine yourself enjoying movement. I\u2019m encouraging you to give up the idea that you hate moving your body. Play with some new ways to move that MIGHT feel good to you, and just IMAGINE doing them for awhile. Maybe you\u2019ll get inspired to move. What\u2019s the worst that could happen? You might really have fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>When we play with letting go of anything that limits us, we can begin optimizing our health, wealth, and unlimited potential!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Grow on!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What\u2019s holding you back?<br>What habitual patterns would you love to release?\u00a0<br>What does it feel like when you imagine releasing them?<br>What are you ready to release?<br>What are you ready to IMAGINE yourself releasing?<br>How will your life be different when you release that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Need some help? <\/strong><br>If you want help releasing what&#8217;s holding you back, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/square.site\/book\/F1ZGACGQ5Z15F\/cyndi-combs-vallejo-ca\" target=\"_blank\">schedule a chat with me<\/a> to see if coaching can help you move from where you are to where you&#8217;d LOVE to be!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I recently had a conversation with a client who was pondering the fact that death is the ultimate act of release.
