Letting Go

New moons are a great time to let go. It’s not required, but it helps to have a designated cycle where you are intentional about letting something go that might be weighing heavy on you.

You carry some things for a reason. Maybe they kept you safe. Maybe they’ve become part of your identity, so letting go of one aspect means letting go of 15 other things. Maybe you’re flat-out just ready to get rid of it.

No matter where you are in your letting go process, there’s one important tool you must show up with, and that’s compassion. Letting go isn’t some machine you can just switch on and off. It takes self-reflection and attention to detail. That’s why it’s not always easy. There’s nothing wrong with you when it feels like letting go isn’t working. It just means you get a chance to practice self-compassion.

When asked what she wants to teach the world she replied, "Don't stop searching. Too many times, in my old life, I put my search aside for more 'important matters.' I didn't realize the thing I was searching for held what was most important; my soul purpose." Jayne works daily on improving her craft and at times can get down on herself, but her favorite morning mantra is "It's a new day." and that's what she strives to start with.
