i am making a list of things i am letting go.
then i am replacing the things i'm letting go with; thoughts, acts, behaviors and ideas that presence me as my optimal self. bringing me to being my progressive ever growing, ever learning optimal self.
first step - write what i am letting go down
thinking about what these things i am letting go are and how they have served me. why did i have these things in my life? and why do i want to replace them. also, how will i achieve what the things i am letting go gave me with new things more optimally?
for example i made a new commitment to do yoga everyday. sometimes i wouldn't get to it till late in the eve, and this procrastination would stress me out and instead loving my yoga practice it annoyed me. i recognize procrastination is a root cause to my upset, but i want to implement tangible change and actual transformation to my behavior so i look to how procrastination has manifested negative habits in my life.
so, instead of doing yoga late in the day - i will do it first thing, next to breakfast. giving myself time and leisure to do it. consciously embodying a new behavior leading to living my vision of a more optimal life.

second step is to write down all the things that will replace the things i am letting go. making sure these new things will be updates to the things i am letting go.
i like vision boards so i will include pictures to help keep me inspired to maintain and shift into these new updated things.

third i burn the list of things i am letting go. i don't need them around. i don't need them to remind me anymore. and burning up these old habits is like burning up an old contract to an outdated self. the ritual of fire is death and transformation. in order for me to powerfully shift into new ways of being i need to make conscious room. room for what i do want. the second list will act as a reminder of things that will bring me to my optimal self. then i will look at this list everyday, until they become my new habits, or my new reality.
Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve.
