Letting Go Through the Law of Attraction

When I woke up this morning, I had every intention of having a wonderful day.    Then I crawled out of bed. 

I stepped on a toy that had been left on the floor and then there wasn’t any hot water.  Go figure.  “Okay,” I said to myself, “I will start the day again and I will have a good day”. 

Maybe I should have stayed in bed.

I went downstairs and the cat had been sick; by the looks and smell of it, apparently all night long.  My husband was sitting at the table waiting for his breakfast and avoiding the cat mishaps by putting his feet up on the chair next to him.  Go figure.

I gritted my teeth and muttered once again, “I am going to have a good day.”

“Did you say something honey?” my restaurant customer asked innocently. 

“Are you having a hard morning?”

As I was taking the whole roll of paper towels to clean up Donkey’s accidents, I growled to Lee, “Yes, I am having a hard morning.  I don’t want to admit that, but yes.” 

“Hey, Babe, just let it go.  The feelings I mean.  Let them go.  They aren’t doing anything for you.  I’ll get breakfast.”

So Mr. Saint decides to make breakfast and I soften.  I realize that my husband was my sage this morning.  Just let it go.  How true is that?

It’s amazing what can happen to your day and your life when you do decide to just let situations or things go.  It truly is that easy.  And letting go gives you the chance to start again, as many times as you want.  Why hang on to the angry frustrated feelings when letting go can make them all go away.

Lee, by just saying the words ‘let it go’ with no judgment provided a freeing feeling for me.  I had put so much pressure on having a good day that I seemed bound and determined to make the day exactly the opposite.  Another example of the Law of Attraction. 

Letting go is an amazing feeling.  When you are trying to control situations around you and you seem to be fighting against an invisible force, the act of letting go breaks the control hold. 

Are there situations that you can let go today?  Maybe the barista at the local coffee shop gets your coffee wrong for the fifth day in a row?   Send the coffee back again and then let it go.  Don’t relive the situation over and over by retelling every colleague at work.  You are only confirming that it will happen once again.  Just let it go.  Don’t repeatedly speak of the mistake.  Truly let it go.  You will be amazed by the results as your week moves forward. 

The Law of Attraction will work just exactly as you feel, and letting go is a great start.

Looking back on my morning, while I believed I was determined to have a good day, in fact I woke up with a chip on my shoulder.  Once circumstances started attracting to me the way I was feeling, the feeling of injustice and crabbiness came back to me.  Even though I was saying and thinking I was going to have a great day, my feelings were what got the day moving in the direction I did not want it to go. 

Lee was the one, with that little phrase, who snapped me back into my reality.  Let the control go, let the chip on the shoulder go, let the feelings of injustice go, let the crabbiness go, and look toward the feelings that can make your day a whole lot better:  love and kindness.

So I gave Lee a peck on the cheek and told him how much I appreciated him, (even though I do wish he had cleaned up Donkey’s accidents) and I picked up my little black feline who seemed to be feeling much better now.  “I love your furry legs.”  He gave a little mew and licked my nose.  I let go the bad smell of his breath and gave him a squeeze, right about the time Lee called out from the other room, indignant.  “Furry legs!  I don’t have furry legs!”

Thanks to letting go, I was going to have a good day after all.
