It's . Letting go of the past can help us to heartily enjoy the present and hopefully anticipate the future. What do you need to leave behind so you can look ahead? Talk to a friend, pastor or family to help you process and progress to peace.

When we finally let them go, we discover how light and peaceful life can truly feel.

It's Day 24 of Self Care September and we're encouraged to accept ourselves, and to accept that we're worthy of love. In truth, we can often be our harshest critic and not see our inherent value. We're all on a journey of growth and development, and none of us has arrived yet - the process takes time and that's just how it is. So today, take another look - as a created human being you are wonderfully made and indeed worthy of love, respect, compassion.
