0:00.0	Hello and welcome back to practicing human the podcast where every day we're getting a little better at life.
0:07.0	I'm your host, Corey Muscarra, and in today's episode I'm going to talk about letting go and moving toward where we're going.
0:16.0	More to come on that in a moment.
0:18.0	First, let's settle and together with the sound of the bells. Okay, so today is going to be a simple episode with a simple idea.
0:50.0	I'm going to use a quote by the great philosopher Winnie the Pooh to help frame this episode.
0:59.0	Winnie the Pooh says, I always get to where I'm going by walking away from where I've been. I always
1:09.6	get to where I'm going by walking away from where I've been. I really like this quote. It's one of those that for me there's a simultaneous,
1:22.0	oh yeah that feels so true and at the same time I'm like oh boy that feels so true

2:19.7	And of course that doesn't mean we let go of everything in our current reality and just
2:25.6	uproot and go into something else. It's just pointing to the very simple fact that whatever it is you're trying to move toward in the future
2:37.0	will have to look different than where you are right now.
2:41.0	Otherwise it would just be the same and there would be no longing for an
2:45.1	improvement or a shift. And so if you're navigating a life change right now, it might be
2:51.5	helpful to look back on other moments in your life where there was a change,
2:56.6	where something shifted for the positive and think back to where you were and how you had to walk away from that to get to where you
3:06.7	were going.
3:07.7	Sometimes that walking away happens intentionally and
