Jan.17: Releasing Weight

Learning to let it go means learning to release the unecessary weight.

And believe me parents, this diet plan is more than Atkinson bargained for. We are talking something much bigger than just physcial, with results that are lifelong and full of deep healing.

Turn down the volume in your head a few clicks simply by switching off the retaliation, rebuttal, or return comment button--you want to say something to that person who cut you off? You have something negative on your mind you want to tell a co-worker? Your angry? Disilusioned?Upset at a casual remark a spouse made that got your goat? Release it. Let your weight go.

Can you imagine, for just one pure moment, what that might feel like?


That aggressive need to be right, to be first, to be the one with THE thing to say, to act as if you're in control over someone else..you're fooling yourself, lulling yourself into some false sense of security thinking "now I've told them.." Release the weight from your life, untie the albatross and take control of your positive living--living that occurs as a result of the good things you say and do, living that happens out of a need to live a good and decent life. How do we fix what goes wrong? We can't-- it already went wrong, but we can do our best in the next moment to live a little better, and if it is our "fault" in some form we can own those issues, apologize and release the weight.

This Dad worked on that today--feeling whole lot lighter today, with just a few tactical errors along the way. By asking myseld about this and all of these other 16 days worth of issues, I am seeing when thigns manifest, how, and creating solutions rather than problems. I am pursuing understanding on a different level now and truly understanding what does and does not matter in the "weight" that frames my daily existence as a person.

So go ahead and give a day over to the release of your weight and check the mental/emotional/spiritual scale at the end of the day--results might be more impressive than you think.
