Popular Post Luckyducky Posted March 7, 2014 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Hi this is one of the poems that helped me quit. Thank you Jon for encouraging me:) She Let Go Without a thought or a word, she let go. She let go of fear. She let go of judgments. She let go of the confluence of opinions swarming around her head. She let go of the committee of indecision within her. She let go of all the ‘right’ reasons. Wholly and completely, without hesitation or worry, she just let go. She didn’t ask anyone for advice. She didn’t read a book on how to let go. She just let go. She let go of all the memories that held her back. She let go of all of the anxiety that kept her from moving forward. She let go of the planning and all of the calculations about how to do it just right. She didn’t promise to let go. She didn’t journal about it. She didn’t write the projected date in her Day-Timer. She made no public announcement. She didn’t check the weather report or read her daily horoscope. She just let go. She didn’t analyze whether she should let go. She didn’t call her friends to discuss the matter. She didn’t utter one word. She just let go. No one was around when it happened. There was no applause or congratulations. No one thanked her or praised her. No one noticed a thing. Like a leaf falling from a tree, she just let go. There was no effort. There was no struggle. It wasn’t good. It wasn’t bad. It was what it was, and it is just that. In the space of letting go, she let it all be. A small smile came over her face. A light breeze blew through her. And the sun and the moon shone forevermore. Here’s to giving ourselves the gift of letting go… There’s only one guru ~ you. The author of this poem is unclear. A few sites list Ernest Holmes as the author, another Jennifer Eckert Bernau and still another Rev. Safire Rose.

Jon Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 This poem is so apt for so many things that pertain to quitting and the struggle that follows. Letting go of the good feelings we had on Adderall; happiness, drive and confidence, etc. Letting go of our expectations after quitting; the Adderall mindset. I see letting go as a practice, one that will carry us forward. Thank you LD for sharing this beautiful poem with us. I printed it out so I can have access to remembering to let go of whatever is keeping me down on any particular day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
