Letting Go..Stress

One loving family
 
I learned recently that sometimes you just have to learn to let go. When I say this I am not talking about of your kids, your family but just of stress or those who cause the stress in your life.

I learned that letting go of some of the people I have known for a while whether in person or online made my life so much easier. I can sleep better not knowing their every move, how much someone is annoyed, whether or not people are together or apart, if their kids are doing good.

Why am I saying this?
happy go lucky

I have to get this out!! I want to scream it from the mountains, run through the woods, swim across the ocean just to let people know it is okay to let go of those that bring you into a world you don't really know.

I was putting my marriage on wits end and for what?

I thought a few people I met back in school were worth it. I thought they'd be my friends. When in reality they were some of the first to leave when I had more kids. They were the first to try to but in when their relationship was bad but got upset mine was good.

Even worse were the ones I met online and that is the only way I knew them. They would call we would trade stories but in the end it was me constantly trying to help with their problems. They needed someone to vent to about how their lives were not going the way they wanted them to. Sometimes I would vent like any friends do but it just got old.

I walked away from it all. I walked away from relationships whether they were 5,7,12,17,25 years long. I left them because sometimes that is what you have to do to move on.
Having the time of our life


Since I let go, since I chose to just go be on my own with just us 7 A's it has been a lot easier. The life of my own has gotten 10 times less stressful. I can go to bed knowing I am going to wake up to 5 beautiful girls who count on me, I'm not on my phone as much so I can actually spend time one on one with all of them, I get to do more/see more, I get to have fun without feeling like I am rubbing it in anyone's face.

We get to have fun, we get to talk, we get to be us.

So letting go of those things that cause stress can be one of the best things you could do for your body, mind, and soul. It is the best thing you can do for your family because it lets your children, spouse, and everyone around you feel so much more at ease.

Now I work out daily, help others working out, sell books that children love and want like no other, photography because it is my passion. Sometimes letting go actually brings a whole lot more in for your family, your life, your future!!
We will always be one!
