Spring Cleaning: Psychological Suittcase

Ugh. Don't make me face it. Ugh, on the other hand. Today's a day to face things if ever there was one. Okay, okay.

So the thing is ... it's hard to give things away, harder to throw things away. But there's a need to do it. Time to just let go. We'll be dead one of these days and we won't go merrily along clutching a handful of mismatched socks, or a too small sweater, or a nearly worn out pair of sneakers, that's a guarantee.

Take a look at your things. All your things. Have you made a little wall of things to hide behind? Does it work as a worthy fortress? Nah. I have piles of stuff that seem absolutely silly sitting there.

Is your body holding winter fat, hiding your bones, just as your closet is holding a ton of stuff you just don't need? Close your eyes. If you had to pack a suitcase in the next 10 minutes, with just the stuff you REALLY need for the next week, what would be left over?

I won't say it ... but maybe you want to pack that suitcase and toss the rest.

I'm gonna try to pack my suittcase.
