Learning to love you more

Is a website that I have been frequenting quite a bit lately. Its full of assignments that they recommend you do and then send in your results and then they post the assignments that people have written or worked on so that other can see what's been going on. I was reading one last night that I loved!  It was entitled goodbye, I'm going to post it here and I would encourage you to comment on this and leave your own version of this assignment. Lets see what we can come up with....

Assignment 70
Say Goodbye.

Sometimes it's hard to say goodbye. It just feels easier to keep holding on. But in the long run it's usually a good idea to let go, it's the daring thing to do. It allows room for new things, for transformation. And maybe the goodbye isn't even forever, but you can't know until you really say goodbye and mean it. In some cases, goodbye is really the end, and good riddance! For this assignment, say goodbye to all the things you need to let go of: bad habits, dead people, alive people, ex-boyfriends and girlfriends, self-destructive feelings and behaviors, jobs, projects, re-occuring thoughts, etc.
  
Write it as a simple list:
  
Goodbye Bill.
  
Goodbye wetting the bed.
  
Good bye interrupting people when they are talking.
  
etc.
  
It can be as long or as short as you like. And, most importantly, take a moment with each one to really say goodbye. This isn't a catalogue of your fears and faults, this is a ceremony to bid them farewell.Please don't send us HELLOS, only goodbyes.



Goodbye uncertainties about my future
Goodbye negative people in my life
Goodbye accepting that I won't make my life anything but fantastic
Goodbye "Should"
Goodbye Lack of Motivation
Goodbye broken hearts
Goodbye not being thankful for everything.

    Goodbye Dad.
    Goodbye Mitch.
    Goodbye self-pity.
    Goodbye emotional pain.
    Goodbye bondage from the past.
