There is a pile over there, haunting me, taunting me. It contains all of the papers that I told myself I would need to get through. Of course, there might be an important detail in there that I will need at an yet undisclosed point in time. I can’t let go of it, because I need it. Or so I think I do.
I hold onto memories the same way.
The memories, thoughts, and ideas from my past continue to linger in my brain. At some point they got stuck there, and there they remain. I believe that I need them, because continuing to hold them in mind will keep me safe. But that isn’t true. They are there, just cluttering the space, keeping out more useful and hopeful thoughts. I think it’s time for a deep clean.
I am ready to release what doesn’t serve me. I am ready to let go of what I’ve been holding onto for so long. I can make new memories, I can get new thoughts, and I can find new ideas. I have to let them go. I have to start decluttering my mind. What is the first thing to go?
