How often do you hold on to past hurts, carry resentment?You may go through times in life when other people say things or behave in a way that hurts you, playing over the scenarios in your head over and over. It will ultimately weigh you down. You will waste your time and energy on relieving it or running it through your mind over and over. By letting go of that that doesn’t serve you, you can focus more on the present, and find a level of peace and happiness. I want to share this story with you. A senior monk and a junior monk were traveling together. At one point, they came to a river with a strong current. As the monks were preparing to cross the river, they saw a very young and beautiful woman also attempting to cross. The young woman asked if they could help her cross to the other side.The two monks glanced at one another because they had taken vows not to touch a woman.Then, without a word, the older monk picked up the woman, carried her across the river, placed her gently on the other side, and carried on his journey.The younger monk couldn’t believe what had just happened. After rejoining his companion, he was speechless, and an hour passed without a word between them.Two more hours passed, then three, finally the younger monk could contain himself any longer, and blurted out “As monks, we are not permitted a woman, how could you then carry that woman on your shoulders?”The older monk looked at him and replied, “Brother, I set her down on the other side of the river, why are you still carrying her?”If you’re ready to let go, then drop me a message to find out how I can help you.

Old Patterns Could Be Holding You Back Have you ever found yourself reacting the same way over and over again, even when you know that it’s not helpful?You avoiding a situation that makes you feel uncomfortable. You constantly seeking reassurance. You might put yourself last, struggle to say no, overthink everything and find yourself trapped in the same emotional cycles. The frustrating thing is you know those patterns don’t serve you, but yet they keep showing up. Those unhelpful patterns didn’t start as a problem. It was your subconscious looking for a solution. Your subconscious minds sole job is to protect you and keep you safe. It’s like an internal bodyguard. It relies on familiar patterns to help steer you away from danger. When I was young I developed a fear of heights. My dad had an accident on the Forth Road Bridge and because of that I became frightened of anything that was high, particularly if there was water under it. This included drains. I know logically there was no way I could fall down a drain, but my subconscious saw a familiar pattern so it tried to get me away from the danger. At some point in your life your subconscious mind has learned a way to protect you from hurt, rejection, disappointment or emotional pain. And while those patterns might have helped you through difficult times they might now be stopping you from moving forward. Avoiding situations keeps anxiety alive. People pleasing can leave you feeling mentally and emotionally exhausted and perhaps even resentful. The overthinking robs you of peace and confidence as well as perhaps sharing time with loved ones. The constant self doubt stops you from becoming who you truly are capable of being. But guess what. Those patterns CAN be changed. You don’t have to be stuck with those old habits, thoughts or emotional responses that you had developed over the years. Imagine how it would feel to respond differently. To be able to trust yourself more. To feel calmer in situations that once felt overwhelming. To be more confident with the decisions you make. How good would it be to stop being controlled by old fears and to be more in control. Once you become aware and recognise a pattern that’s the moment to take the opportunity to change it. That single moment of awareness can be the first step towards a completely different future Is there a pattern or habit that you’ve noticed in yourself that you’d love to break free from? Marina ...
