Letting go of the excess baggage

Life is a series of emotional experiences varied by the effect of our environment, people we meet, family, friends, lovers, partners and the list goes on. 

These unique experiences play a role in shaping who we were, who we are and who we are about to become. 

Many of the experiences we collect in life are memorable, treasured and when we recall them fill our hearts with joy and love. 

However, from time to time, we do encounter moments or events that impact us deeply. Experiences that hurt us to our core and give us so much pain we just wonder, how are we going to move on. 

This can cause us to stop, curl up, change who we are, become cautious and suspicious. We know that we never want to feel this way again. 

What we do as we heal is we package these emotions and fear and we let it impact who we are becoming. Most emotional upheavals cause us to change who we are or the direction we may be heading in.  

We can become angry, distrustful, we have triggers that take us back, a word, a tone, a sound.

At an extreme we end up in therapy, we can battle self esteem and confidence issues, we may have breakdowns or suffer depression. 

I have had experiences in my life that have taken me to the edge. 

Its an interesting place to be. 

What I have discovered however, is the human spirit and strength, is an amazing thing. 

Once you decide to step back from the edge you have the ability to rebuild your life with colors that are strong and vibrant. 

Part of the rebuilding though, no matter what emotional experience you are walking away from is to say thank you for the lessons and let go of the fear, the anger, the suspicion. 

You attract into your life what you give out. You have the ability to manifest the outcome. So be very careful of what you do put out. 

When new people come into your life make sure that the baggage you carry, and we all do, is light, full of love and care, lessons that have been learnt and you are ready to create new experiences and lessons. 

Its a bit like going on holiday. Only take the things you need not the whole house.

So let go of the things that don't need to be taken to the next destination.

Who knows what you may find waiting for you if you are just open to it.
