Here we are at blog post 100. I can scarcely believe how fast the days have gone by. Although this project is quite challenging at times (when I need to finish something tonight to publish tomorrow), the has been the most therapeutic habit I have ever developed.
Writing about tough memories or bad days has helped me let things go. My most important relationships (with Trish and Roli) have improved. It sounds odd, but I feel mentally lighter. I had not realized the weight of old memories until I let them go.
Discussing memories of some things that bothered me also made it apparent that it was more significant to me than the person I thought I had treated badly. Now when something is bothering me, I deal with it instead of tucking it away and forgetting about it.
Are you ready to let go of a memory you have been carrying for too long?
p.s. – In case you missed them, some of my favorite posts:

I guess a bit like in AMN you can normally have permission from the client to let go but maybe not from the significant other. But as you said you have no idea what they have made of the event at the time or of they have long since let it go.
At this point in time I wouldn’t change a thing about her happened as have a wonderful daughter who is here because of anything that has gone before.
Things I do relive in the current moment relatively frequently are football career and training choices. Ie never quite making the breakthrough.
A feeling of having a the potential to do great things and never quite getting into the right gear for long enough.
Upsetting family members or friends.
Being afraid of making mistakes.
Well done on the 100!
Boy is that true. I know some people that could use this advice.
