Something that once served a purpose may no longer deserve the same place in your life.
A habit, an expectation, an old role, or a familiar way of thinking may have helped you through a particular part of your life. That does not mean it must keep directing every part that follows. I believe we can respect what something meant without assuming it still fits. Letting go may be gradual. It may involve a conversation or a different boundary. Begin by noticing what you are carrying and what it is costing you now.
