Emotional baggage

When you travel somewhere, what do you prefer: carry a light bag of necessary things, or 3 twenty kilo suitcases just because you can? I guess the first one. In life we have similar approach, meaning when our mind is clean, we think more clearly, we focus more easily, we are calm and ready for the day. But as we move on through day, our mind is filled more and more with some random thoughts, not always by our fault, but our surrounding affects us in a great way. Sometimes, by the end of the day we feel so overwhelmed by events that we can barely think of anything and just want to switch off. And how about events of the day? The havoc they made, is it all gone away the next day? Sleep definitely helps, but there are instances when some situations “made” us react in such a way, that we were moved so much that we could feel it in our body for a long time later. Like it or not, but in such times, there is a great chance that such energy, whether it would be sadness or anger, could stuck in our bodies. We wanted to deal with it later, but life is so busy that we forgot, and now we ended up carrying this energy with us. It’s not a big deal to carry some emotions around, but what happens when we managed to hold on to whole 20 kilo suitcase of negative emotions, and carry it wherever we go? Imagine that! Going to interview with 20 years of sadness and regret or other emotions. Or entering a business opportunity after feeling defeated and abused after last on. How is that going to end? How your emotional baggage is going to affect your new venture? Is it going to be a new adventure, clean slate. Or your past will trigger survival mechanisms at the slightest chance of dishonesty? What I’m saying here is to allow yourself to learn from past experience, BUT don’t live there. What I’m offering you is to remove the emotional charge which made you react and live in survival mode. And allow you to start fresh, no matter where you are in life right now. Because emotional baggage does not care whether you’re at home, office, uni or on the street. It follows you everywhere, unless you release it.
