Getting rid of baggage?

Kick it right out of your life!

Is easier said than done! The quick fix; contrary to popular belief doesn’t work; there isn’t an easy way to ditch emotional baggage. Acknowledgement (of the baggage) is a good start. Accompanied with forgiveness it’s often the most difficult and introspective part.

Don’t fool yourself into believing that there’s nothing wrong; you’re just lying to yourself, and in the process hurting yourself and those around you. Learn to kick the crap out of that suitcase laden with shit, disown it, you’re better than it and don’t need it.

It’s not easy; it was never supposed to be. The beauty of humans is that we’re resilient creatures. Each of us has a never say die attitude lurking inside. We simply need to find it, harness it, forgive (ourselves + others) and allow healing start. Cut yourself some slack, you’ll get there eventually.
