NEW DAY. NEW
STRENGTH.
With the new day comes
new strength and new thoughts. ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
Everyone has an equal opportunity to deal with losses from little tangible items such as treasured childhood things to something of great value such as a home or a relationship. In aging, humans sometimes lose the value of precious memories. You can learn how to let go of the past. Whether you have
experienced a break up with someone you cared for deeply, whether death has
taken a loved one, whether you have had a feud with a friend or family member,
whether you have lost a job or a business has gone bust. Life can be joyful and rewarding again when we learn how to move on
and let go. Let a broken romance or friendship go.
Let a lost job become an experience and no more. Even with death, there is a
time to mourn, and there is a time to renew and to move on with your own life.
Why spoil your day complaining. It is better to focus your thoughts on positive
matters.
Do's and Don'ts
Don't spend too much time
or energy mourning what has happened.
Don't over-react to your loss and take any sudden actions without time for
careful contemplation.
If you are feeling desperately lonely or frightened,
don't take actions based on those emotions.
Seek support in the short term, and
only make significant commitments after you have restored a sense of being
centered and confident.
Don't complain about what has happened, and don't listen to
your friends' complaints.
Keep your attention on building a
bright future.
Every day brings new
choices. - Martha Beck
