The Starting Place

It can be difficult to let go of old patterns, habits, and relationships, because if nothing else, they're familiar to us. We think they provide us some sense of security, but the real comfort will come when you have the courage to let those old things go and open yourself up to new hope. You don't have the space for both the old and the new.

Very interesting

If the brain interprets a situation as negative, dangerous, or wrong, a fight-or-flight response kicks in that resists it and moves us away from the issue. On the contrary, if a situation is registered as normal, expected, or good, the brain helps us embrace the situation and take action to execute it. If we can begin to see endings as (sometimes painful) gifts, we will be able to move forward more easily and develop a greater resilience as we move through life.
