June 23rd - Let It Go Day!
Let It Go Day is described "the perfect occasion to stop wasting your energy on negative feelings from the past and instead focus on building yourself a positive future.".
Today is a day to try to bravely take steps needed to move forward in positive ways.
In order to let go, you may find it helpful to...
→ Identify what or who may be holding you back.
→ Be mindful of your resulting emotions and then do something to relieve the tension (such as deep breathing, a hobby or exercise).
→ Reaffirm that you are doing the best that you can and give yourself plenty of positive self-talk.
→ Take time for yourself on a regular basis, especially once you notice the pressure building.
→ Lean on support to relieve the emotional tension, and/or remove the source.

Hope you have a good day, and will be able to use this day to consider the topics of forgiveness, acceptance and letting go!

Thanks for posting all of this, Jazz! This was the first ever discussion that I lead, so now I'm feeling hopelessly nostalgic :)
