A shared reflection\u00a0…<\/p>\n

For those of you\u00a0who live in Eswatini, and especially for those who frequent Ezulwini, you may have noticed a little while ago that the speed bumps were removed that were placed in between Corner Plaza and Cuddle Puddle. Other than an intense Hallelujah for one less speed bump in Eswatini, I found myself for the longest time continually still breaking every time I would get to the spot. Despite the speed bumps no longer being there, my brain and body had already been trained to habitually break at that point. Anyone find they did the same thing?<\/p>\n

It got me wondering, how many habits, reactions, thoughts have been trained and engrained in us that we habitually respond to in our daily lives, not because the situation still calls for it but simply because it\u2019s what we have been doing for a lengthy period of time.<\/p>\n

A further reflection was that it\u00a0is possible that this mirrors how we still see obstacles or challenges where the obstacle or challenge is in fact no longer there. It has passed and yet our brains and bodies want to behave in ways that believe it still exists.<\/p>\n

So I nudge you to reflect\u00a0on\u00a0where you may be reacting habitually to someone or something when in fact it is no longer relevant or necessary?<\/em><\/p>\n

And\u00a0where in your life might you still be holding onto a situation or challenge that has passed that no longer serves you to hold onto?<\/em><\/p>\n

Consider making\u00a0a commitment to yourself\u00a0to begin to respond intentionally and differently to the person or situation that you are automatically reacting to from a past and unhelpful place. Choose a response that is\u00a0Fair, Factual, Freeing<\/em>\u00a0and reflects\u00a0Faith<\/em>\u00a0that you are building a life that feels good \u2026 And make a commitment \u00a0to working on the art of LETTING GO.<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
