(Editor’s Note: On Wednesdays, we share a journaling tip as part of our series, Journaling 101. This is tip No. 23.)
Caregiving has brought so many changes in your life that you may find yourself holding onto parts of your old life–old relationships, old habits, old expectations. At one time, it probably was comforting to hold onto to these parts of your old life. But, at some point, what you hold on to that’s old becomes chains that keep you from moving forward into healthier relationships, habits and expectations.
This week, consider: What are you hanging on to? How healthy is this? And, what will you gain (time, self-respect, opportunities) by letting go?
Letting go can be hard. It also can be cathartic.
Let go.
