Letting go with grace

"I let go easily, trusting that nothing leaves my life unless something better is coming."
-- Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer, Creating Money: Keys to Abundance

This wonderful affirmation goes directly to the heart of an important concept that we sometimes forget about.

We have to make room in our lives for new things to manifest.

We do this by letting go of what we no longer need or want.

The classic example that abundance and Law of Attraction teachers often use is this: if you want to create a brand new wardrobe, then give away the clothes in your closet that you no longer use. These can be clothes that no longer fit, are out of fashion, or that you just don't like.

The principle here is that if you only have clothes that you really love and that support you because they make you like fabulous, then the Universe will respond by sending you the resources and the means to continuously add more clothes to your closet.

You attract what you focus on.

And when you combine the thought of new clothes, the awesome feeling of always loving what you are wearing, and the action of letting go of the old.... well, watch out -- before you know it, your closet will be filled with a new, perfect wardrobe.

Here's another example. If you are focusing on financial freedom, then take a look at your financial records. Are they in order? Or are they in a pile somewhere waiting for your attention?

The Universe is orderly and efficient. To the extent that you can, create order and efficiency in your financial records.

This works for me. I know that I have avoided filing old bills and receipts because I was afraid to look through the stacks of papers I had been accumulating.

You can take this a step further and affirm your financial abundance as you look at each page. For every company or person you have a financial relationship with, bless them and all of their employees. And, if needed, forgive them and yourself.

You will feel better and you will be clearing out what would otherwise a big obstacle to your financial freedom.
