When we first went onto lockdown in March, I was dead set and stubborn about holding onto the way that I had seen and done things before. As I mentioned in my latest article, quarantine has been the most challenging time of my life and I have had to re-evaluate everything in my life.

Right before quarantine, I pulled a tarot oracle card that said, ‘What are you clinging on to!’ I knew deep down that I had been holding on to a way of thinking that was unsustainable: one that meant I over-apologized, was concerned more of outward appearances and one that has left me depleted in loving relationships because I swallowed what I had to say to make sure that I wasn’t left alone or hurt anyone’s feelings.

Through this challenging time, I have let go of a few things so that I rid myself of my self-inflicting pain. Here are nine of them:

1. That jobs provide emotional security.

2. That others need to accept me before I accept myself.

3. That I am able to control everything.

4. That I know what the future will hold.

5. That tomorrow is guaranteed or will look how it has looked before.

6. That I have to surround myself with people who insist on correcting me, putting me into a box and shunning me.

7. The idea that if I am alone then I am lonely.

8. That it’s ever too late to do anything about something I want to change.

9. That God has given up on me.
