Day 4 - S.O.S - Letter of Release

Today's Exercise — The Letter of Release 📓

Sit in your sacred space. Light your candle. Get still.

Then write a letter directly to your pattern.

In your letter:

Name it. Call it exactly what it is. No softening. No minimizing. Say it clearly.
Acknowledge it. Let it know you see it. You have always seen it — even when you pretended not to.
Thank you. Yes — thank it. It protected you once. Honor that before you release it.
Revoke its power. Let it know clearly and specifically how you will no longer allow it to influence your choices, your relationships, your visibility, your business, your voice.
Release it. Declare out loud that it no longer belongs to you. It was never yours to begin with.

Write without filtering. Write without editing. Let it all come out onto the page.

This is not a polished exercise. This is a reckoning.

I'll go first. 🙋🏽‍♀️

Dear Self-Doubt aka Dimisha 🤣

I see you. I have always seen you even when I pretended I didn't know you were there.

You showed up in third grade when I watched those girls tear someone apart for simply being seen. And in that moment I decided the safest thing I could do was make myself smaller. Express less. Risk nothing.

That decision made sense for a nine year old.

It has no place in the woman I am now.

You have followed me through every career. Every room I walked into. Every moment I was about to step fully into who I am — and you whispered are you sure?

I am sure.

I want to thank you for keeping me safe when safety felt impossible. But I no longer need that kind of protection. I am not that little girl at the top of the stairs anymore.

I am choosing visibility. I am choosing courage. I am choosing to take up the space I was always meant to occupy.

You do not get to come with me where I am going.

I release you. Peace out. Lol
