I've been talking a lot about cleaning. I've hauled out a jungle's worth of dust bunnies. The physical cleaning is important to our well-being & mental state. However, cleaning can go beyond that. A clearing is sometimes also needed.
A lot of us hold on to things that no longer fit or work in our lives. We tell ourselves we can use it whenever so & so happens. It's not really that bad off, it can be fixed. But, I've had it forever. Those aren't reasons to keep things in your life. If you were going to use it, you would've already. If it could've been fixed so easily then why isn't already? Just because something's been with you forever, doesn't mean anything more than you're used to it.
Letting go can be the hardest thing you can do, but it can also be the most rewarding. The problem here isn't just the habitual holding onto things that no longer work in our lives, but also holding onto ideas, pains & bad relationships. I was the person that wouldn't quit a bad job. I'd stay until they fired me. I didn't want to just give up. I was trying to express my maturity by staying, but I wasn't. I was just making myself miserable.
There are people, memories & concepts in our lives that only bring us harm & unhappiness. They need to go. If something or someone in your life brings more negatives than positives, then they shouldn't be in your life. You have better things to spend your resources on. You're better than that. Let it go.
