Journalling Inspiration 102: Make a GOODBYE list - Delete what no longer serves you

As we prepare to embrace 2025, it is essential to reflect on the year we are leaving behind. Transitioning into a new season is not just about moving forward—it is also about letting go.

At Grid Society, we invite you to take this powerful step toward clarity by creating your very own Goodbye List. This is more than a farewell—it is a declaration that you are making space for new opportunities, energy, and growth. To fully step into the fresh start that awaits you, you must consciously release what no longer serves you.

Gridlist 102: The Instruction

START: Before you immerse yourself in a new year or a new season in life, you should always consciously delete things to make space for the fresh start you are about to embrace.

Make a list of everything you are leaving behind—things that no longer serve you, things you do not want on your new journey. This could be energies, attitudes, habits... and maybe even some fashion choices. 😜

🔹 “I am deleting that.”🔹 “This is a no longer.”🔹 “That is a no more.”

Make a list of your goodbyes to the old so you can embrace and make space for the new! 

Examples for Your Gridlist 102

1️⃣ Negative Self-Talk

"I am deleting that." I will no longer speak to myself in ways that undermine my confidence and potential.

2️⃣ Overcommitting to Things That Drain Me

"This is a no longer." I will stop saying yes to everything and start protecting my time and energy.

3️⃣ Procrastination

"That is a no more." I will no longer delay important tasks and will take action immediately to move forward.

4️⃣ Holding Onto Past Mistakes

"I am deleting that." I refuse to let past failures define my future—I am learning, growing, and evolving.

5️⃣ Comparison to Others

"This is a no longer." I will focus on my own journey instead of measuring my success against someone else’s timeline.

Letting go of what no longer serves you creates space for new growth, opportunities, and freedom!

In Short...

This practice is not just about decluttering your life—it is about setting yourself free. Whether it is mindsets, routines, or even relationships, clearing out what is no longer aligned with your growth creates space for transformation.

When you write down what you are letting go of, you are making an intentional decision to move forward without unnecessary baggage. You cannot hold onto the old and expect to welcome the new. This is your chance to actively choose progress, clarity, and alignment.

Why Grid Society Recommends this GRIDLIST

Making a Goodbye List is a powerful act of release. Here is why this process is so valuable:

1️⃣ Clear the Clutter

Releasing old patterns, toxic relationships, and limiting beliefs frees up energy and mental space for new, positive experiences.

2️⃣ Reset Your Mindset

Acknowledging what you are leaving behind helps you gain clarity and set a new, focused direction for 2025.

3️⃣ Boost Your Confidence

Letting go of negativity strengthens your self-worth and empowers you to make better choices in alignment with your best self.

4️⃣ Strengthen Your Boundaries

When you define what is no longer acceptable, you create healthier emotional, mental, and physical boundaries.

5️⃣ Manifest a New Season

A fresh start requires space—this is your opportunity to let go and make room for abundance, joy, and growth.

Start Now!

Step into your new season with clarity. Create your Goodbye List, write it down, and release what no longer belongs in your next chapter.

Letting go is a form of self-care. Celebrate your goodbyes, because they are the first step toward welcoming all the possibilities this new year has to offer!
