The time I threw out all my bras

Sometimes, an action may seem insignificant…but then looking back on it, you might see that act as a defining moment.

About five years ago, I finally chose to leave a highly stressful yet-cushy career in finance. In many ways, I felt like I had failed. Was I really going to abandon this field that I’d worked so hard to succeed in? Why couldn’t I just be happy?

Well, it turns out, you can’t force happiness.

When you’re in a situation that is not aligned, you usually can’t fix it with a sledgehammer.

It took me years to come to this realization. Deep down I knew that it was time to stop trying to hammer my round peg into a square hole. It was time launch my own practice of healing.

And it was a jagged little process of letting go.

I was grateful to retain the many valuable lessons learned from 13 years in financial services. But I was also grateful to finally let many things go—physically and energetically. Down to those highly structured underwire bras—they do give a nice silhouette, but—so uncomfortable!

Every lunation gives us a full moon to remind us that we can release what is no longer in alignment and cycle back to wholeness. As we approach Monday’s Full Moon in Aquarius, you may consider, what am I ready to let go of right now?
