Saying goodbye does not come natural to most of us. Sometimes we have to learn how to say goodbye. It is important to learn to say goodbye so that you can move on and more importantly move forward in your life. Sometimes we try to move on without saying goodbye and sometimes we try moving on before we have decided that it is a "goodbye". This can cause all kinds of problems. It can make us wishy washy, we may yoyo back and forth, and this can prolong our growth and cause emotional damage to us. Saying goodbye can be difficult for a number of reasons. We may feel guilt or shame for saying goodbye or embarrassment. When we struggle with saying goodbye, we may avoid that person and this can cause hard feelings, misunderstandings and as a result we may feel a decrease in self esteem and confidence. When we take a step forward and learn to say goodbye, we feel stronger and more secure in our abilities to handle what comes across our path. the only way to learn to say goodbye is to take a breath and face it. Turn towards what or who you need to say goodbye to, say your goodbye and then turn and walk the other way. The more you face the shame, embarrassment, awkwardness or fear, the stronger and more confident you will become.
Take care everyone, and if you struggle saying goodbye, I hope you learn how so that you can show yourself you are stronger than you think...
