Let It Go

Kindred,

Take a deep breath. 

Breathe. 

Take a deep breath.

Breathe. 

Repeat.

Say a prayer.

Try the Serenity Prayer (attributed to Reinhold Neibuhr, 1892-1971):

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.

Identify the why and how of the problem or crisis.

Own it.

Then let the bad go; let it go.

Let it go (suggestions):

     Write down the problem and burn off the note.

     Whisper or scream under water.

     Give it up to the Lord.

Pray again.

Try the prayer from Saint Francis of Assisi:

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;

After prayer or meditation, do something productive.

Exercise

Find tasks to keep busy

Think up solutions

Work on solutions…..

Be strong. 

Stand.

And

Let it go.
