Wow, what have I got myself into?? Sometimes I walk into my garage and I am overwhelmed with what is in front of me.
I have accumulated so much!! Where do I begin? What part of the garage do I start with first?
What the heck do I do with all of this stuff? How am I going to do this in such a short time frame?
Questions and thoughts just swirl in my head and create an anxiety in my chest. I have to take a deep breath and shut down all the thoughts in my head.
I focus on just one box at a time.
Memories in the box flood my soul. Pictures, trinkets, cards, letters and things I didnt even know I had. What do they all mean and why do I need to keep them?
Each item goes into a specific category: TRASH, GOODWILL, STORAGE, or WHAT THE HECK IS THIS!
Why is it that I felt the need to hang on to specific things? Why do I place such importance on THINGS?
I am finding that through this process I am learning about myself and what I value.
I am learning that through the years I have had certain fears and as I go through all my possessions, I can see ME and I can see my weaknesses.
I am learning that with each item I get rid of, I release that fear and that weakness.
It feels good. It feels right. I am happy. I can let go. I still remain intact.
All of that in just one box.......but, .....I have many more to go!
