New year often associates with something new: new style, new haircut, new diet, new friends, new beginnings. But how can you start something new in your life when a lot of things (bad or good) happened for the last 12 months and they still have a hold on you?

I don't know about you, but I used to carry things, especially bad ones, with me for a long long time. It takes me really long to let my offences and feelings go, so I can communicate with the person again or let this relationship go and leave them.

Recently I've read an article about leaving your offends from any romantic relationship and it gave me an idea for this post. But there are also a lot of things besides romantic relationships to let go.

I'm not going to tell about letting people go, cause I've done this before in that post. I'll just try to tell about how-to-feel-better-and-happy thing and how to let bad feelings and memories go.

Well, firstly get distant from your emotions and don't let them rule your mind. Very often people follow their own emotions and, it doesn't lead to anything good. Look at all your offences or things or people that have hurt you from another angle.

Get rid of anger, jealousy and all your negative emotions, don't keep them to yourself. Personally, I'm not used to share or talk about my angry emotions and I often do keep them in my head. To be honest, it doesn't end really well. It's a pressure that you gain and gain, and in the end, you may hurt people you love if it's not even their fault. 

Think your emotions over, write it down and burn or talk about them to anyone you trust.

Let your negatives go. They're not yours anymore. And also get rid of the negative things other people have ever told you.

Forgive yourself and forgive others. Everyone makes mistakes and it's fine. And don't blame yourself for anything. In the end, it is how it is, it is exactly the way it's supposed to be.

I really hope that you found something helpful and inspirational in this post. Of course, it's not only about the new year. It's something that you should always remember, I think. I forget some of these things sometimes and then regret it.

xx, D

You think you have lost your faith, but you have not,

You have only misplaced your faith, 

and you can find it where it lies down,

deep in your soul.

And the way to do that it through the simple process of love.

Love yourself, forgive yourself,

You can't love and forgive other people if you can't first of all

love and forgive yourself.

You have to realize that people are fallible beings,

they make mistakes and allowed to continue on their quest for a better life and for

goodness.

So love yourself, and then love other people.

Please forgive yourself, go on a journey of finding love

and forgiveness.
