Take what you need and leave the rest.
How does we know when we're holding on to whatever it is that is no longer working? I can only speak from my experience, so here are my clues:
1. I feel stressed. Whether that's brought on by the pile of papers I'm avoiding or hanging out with someone who is no longer a person I want to be friends with.
2. I realize that my life is tethered to whatever I'm holding onto which keeps me stuck and looking back instead of forward.
3. Because I have no idea, inkling, or plan for what's next, the unknown feels scarier than holding on to the security I know. That's when I have to at least consider that fear might not allow me to let go, but is fear a good enough great excuse.
In my book Guidance from the Universe, there is a chapter on Letting Go. Guidance, the energy I channel has some wisdom you can read there along with my story about what I've learned about letting go.
One of the most powerful things I've learned about letting go vs. holding on is how security is a myth.
