Dash of Sass: Let Today Be Today
October 20, 201426 Comments
What if we just let today be today and let yesterday keep all of yesterday’s:
Feelings
Heartbreaks
Exes
Mistakes
Insecurities
Sadness
Failures
Regrets
(Insert anything else here)
Today is Monday. Let it be Monday. Not last Tuesday. Not last October. Not 3 years ago. Let this moment be everything it’s trying to be and stop crowding it with yesterday’s nonsense! You don’t have to hold onto the pain of the past. You simply DON’T. You can open your hands & let it fall, without any pomp or circumstance or apologies at all. (And while you’re at it – don’t crowd today with tomorrow either.) Yes?

Life doesn’t always look the way we want it to look. In Mandy’s upcoming book, Turn Toward the Sun: Releasing What If and Embracing What Is, you’ll find encouragement to live in the moment, sit with your experiences, and trust God with the unknown.
Hi Mandy, yes for me too today. I was actually going through my Stash book (small sized scrapbook that I also use to keep info on my faves, a few photos, cool events, etc)…and I did like you wrote here and what I had read in your book. Of course, about a former boyfriend. lol. I feel so much better, and of course I prayed and thanked God for His help (and also yours via your book). Awesome!
Agreed. I needed to hear this!
Are you reading my mind? I woke up this morning with this thought- Love yourself. Give yourself permission to do so. But in order for that to happen you must forgive yourself 1st. In order to move forward let go of the past and move forward ❤️❤️❤️
Yes, one thousand times yes! Thank you for the reminder Mandy!
This is exactly what I need to do and the hardest thing to accomplish. I want to know why I wasn’t the one….and I will never get to know that answer. One day….one step…and your words help so much. Bless you.
I love the single woman! When I was a single woman these wonderful words of wisdom help me get through a major heartbreak from my ex. After fully taking in the advice I moved on and found my soulmate! I am happier than I have ever been. Although i still struggle with the past hurt. I feel I really needed the advice to let the past go and move on and live the happy life I now have!
i agree, things will just get harder if we keep on flashing back whats on yesterday, be what u are today, regrets?doubts? what else? those unhealthy feelings that you should lift to God to be able to go on with ur life,smile and make everyday a new day to be cherrish forever! :’)
This is great!
So true
Love your advise. Sometimes I just wish my heart could feel it’s that easy to follow.. C
such love this topic..im relate much..
good advice .think I will take it 🙂
i like your book,i have learned so many by reading it..is this available in Philippines?

Amazingly put!
I woke up at 4:00 am, with that knowing sense of pain and hopelessness of being alone again. Not feeling like anyone else could ever really get what I am feeling . Your close. Thanks for putting your words to pen.
You’re not alone, friend. I promise. Hang in there!
I love it. I think I’ll let today be today and leave old stuff in yesterday. I’m tired of carrying it around anyway.
Exactly Right!!
wow!!!
this is for me.
if I can just let yesterday be yesterday and today be today
I will live a very free life.
Nice one.
I will put that to practice.
thanx a million Mandy
I needed to read this. It’s hard to know when you are using the wisdom from the past versus reacting on automatic because of something on the past that you’re projecting and misinterpreting onto the present.
How do you do that when all you want and all you need is to hear from the one person that calms your soul?
Hi Tammy. I don’t know everything…but I do know that expecting another person to calm your soul is placing a great deal of weight on their human abilities. I think you have to find that peace from God or from within yourself. Unhappiness and dissatisfaction and unrest come from somewhere deeper within, and even if this person were to call you, it might bring temporary relief and address the symptom…but it wouldn’t bring lasting peace and address the bigger issue. My best advice is to work on finding happiness with yourself and then it will extend outward. Another person can never bring you happiness and peace if you don’t already possess it.
It took me years to get over my ex… he still suggests we meet but thinking what ut took me to get to where I am i wouldnt trade a 2min fling for that… im not about to go there. Thank you..its time to move on
