It’s a new day and that’s awesome, right?

But before we celebrate and embrace the blank page this day offers us, I think we need to do something first. We need to let go of yesterday.

Let me help you out from the weight of unmet expectations or missed opportunities or whatever it is you’re holding onto as this day begins. I don’t want you taking that with you today.

It’s too easy to carry the should haves and the if onlys and the I wish I hads into our new day without even realizing it. They can influence how we feel not only about the day, but about ourselves. And, friend, you deserve better than that today.

So, let’s let go of those. Let whatever you did accomplish yesterday be enough. Celebrate what got done and how those moments influence your journey through the world and into and through today. Together with all the moments you’ve lived, they have prepared you for just such a moment as this.

Oh, and while we’re at it, let me help you extract yourself from the expectations for today. That’s a weight none of us needs to start this new day carrying. Remember, today is a blank page and you get to write your story upon it without any obstacles, including the voice of your inner critic.
