So why are you still holding yesterday's junk in your hands? It's a fair question and can most likely apply to anyone who is reading this right now. So, what's your junk? Is it a past that you have yet to accept, is it limiting beliefs about yourself, is it physical items which clutter your house, what it is?
Think about the feeling you get when you tackle a room in your home or even a closet or a drawer and you get rid of all those things that you had crammed in there. All of a sudden there is all this room, space. I love that feeling. You are able to breathe again, it's somewhat peaceful even. The same thing applies when you offload all of the emotional baggage within as well.
Often times we hold onto yesterdays junk simply because it is familiar. Sometimes we may even think its comforting. When we actually let it go and become open to something new, we realize it may have actually been quite uncomfortable.
Sometimes yesterdays junk holds feelings and emotions that we just haven't been able to face. So, it feels safer to hold onto it and avoid dealing with whatever feeling it may have attached to it. You may require baby steps, you can't expect yourself to all of a sudden take that baggage, toss it away and feel great. Sometimes that works but not for everything.
It's certainly something to think about. It's the weekend, it's sunny and bright. It just may be the right time to take a look at that junk, whether it's internal emotions or beliefs, or physical junk. Now may be the time to consider letting go.
What's holding you back?
