Let it go...

The very popular song from Disneys FROZEN...

It's funny to hear my children belt out about " the past is in the past" considering how brief of a past that they have. It's brilliant though how this song reaches to the core of so many. To let it go...to be FREE...to be yourself as you are. 

This song is stuck in my head...partially because my daughters are constantly singing it...partially because EVERYONES daughters are singing it...and also because it stirs in a part if me that wants to continue to let it go...

Let go of the negative tape that I still battle daily...

Let go of my mistakes that sometimes when I think about make my stomach turn...

Let go if the fear of the unknown in my future...

Let go of control...

Let go of perfectionism...

BUT to wall myself up in an ice castle is NOT the answer... So the truth to me behind the power of this song is that we all desire to let it go...but when we simply hold onto it...bury it...build up walls around us to protect us we allow the very fears we have to imprison us...

This applies to every part of our life. As a mom. A wife. A friend. A fitness coach. A daughter of the King :)

It's something most of us carry around. Walking wounded. 

I love that in this movie the only way she truly experiences the freedom and is able to let things go is through the experience of true love...the gift if self...

Then she is free...because she is no longer defined by her struggle, her fear , her lie...she is just loved. 

Isn't that what we all want...to not be rejected? To be loved? To be called out from our locked doors and ice palaces to a place of freedom? To find healing in the love of another. To find freedom. 

So as this song continues to run through my head I do release these fears. I let them go...hand them over...name them and ask for the love that inoculates the lie...the support that carries me through. I pray the same for you! 

Yes leave it to me to process deep thoughts from Disney! But as I continue my journey in healing and I reach out to help others I am blown away at the Battles we wage in our minds and hearts...and how simple steps and support and love can take us from being a prisoner of the lie to FREEDOM as the GIFT!!!
