When your mind holds on, it keeps the body prisoner.

What you hold onto is unable to go anywhere; to grow, to move, unable to let go.

Holding onto the habit of having dessert, or having stories you say about yourself or precieve others to say about you. Clinging to the past or things that are similar & safe. Holding on or back from emotions or needs by plugging them into the body. Swallowing your words to absorb into the body. Leaving all the habits, stories, belifs, emotions and unreleased elements as the bodies responsibility. Creating problems in the body whether one is conscious of the existence.

According to Krishna Das we have a muscle in the mind that we forget is there. This is called “letting go” muscle. Krishna Das says we have developed a strong “holding on” muscle in the mind, but the “letting go” muscle is undeveloped.

It's a morden day survival method to hold on, to cling, to attach to familiar, to hoord & excessively collect.
Our world is so stressful, we don't have time to process all that comes to us, happens to us, what we witness and what we create. It's as if we do not have time to experience ourselves that we leave it in the 'out box' , the 'deal with it later box', the 'chair of mess', ' draw of disorganization bits which don't have a category'. If you keep trying to fill a container up with food, it will start to break down, but it has no where to ' GO'. And eventually has to cause disruption in the hopes something can be done about it.

LETTING GO, is one of those easier said than done things. Letting go needs to be approach like a new routine or habit.
To let go, you need practice & need to start small.
Practicing letting go of little things so that when big stresses arise you can release, clear out, let go.
*if one doesn't begin a letting go practice all of a sudden the container is full, you end up stuck or sick or overwhelmed in emotions.

Notice what memories have you trapped in the past, what emotions you cling to, the thoughts & stories you tell, your habits, & beliefs you hold to. Then give your “letting go” muscle some exercise and begin to let go. You can survive without holding it all in. Let go, let go, let go

Anger is often a subconscious reflection that something isn't going as expected or this is not the current path.

The most common causes of anger in relationships can be unmet expectations & projection.

Previously I have talked about contracts we make with the people we love, with ourselves & the universe that nobody signed up on.

Things to recognize when your angry with someone else:
• The anger is really about you, your angry at yourself for being disappointed or not communicating your own needs
• Communication is important. No one can read your mind.
• Expecting people to pick up on your physical & emotional cues e.g being exhausted. No one 'should know' assumptions are unhelpful.
• 56% of people struggle to be heard. There are many reasons for this one is you are not being clear with yourself about what you need, therefore you feel unsatisfied and take it out on your loved one for not knowing any better than yourself.
• A person cannot make you feel whole or complete. They cannot fix you. You must do the work. They are not responsible for your conditioning patterns.
• Expecting loved ones to pick us up, fill our buckets up when we have allowed ourselves to be depleted & drained.
• We project our pain & baggage onto our partner. Maybe deciding our behaviour is a consequence of theirs. Certain behavioir or words yout partner uses can anger you. Their language or actions may not have come from a negative intention but you have perceived it that way.
• Your own self-worth is low
• You jump to conclusions because you have been constantly hurt
• Confrontation scares you
• Inability to expect who your partner is & sometimes yourself e.g do you say your too sensitive?? - sensitivity is not a bad thing, shift this mindset.
