What are you holding onto that you no longer truly need?
This is a question we can all ask ourselves - it's one I'm facing into right now, in a practical way, as we prepare to move home. And there's a powerful metaphor here of what are we holding within us that's no longer serving us?
In this wide-ranging episode of the podcast, I explore...
- How in the past we would have cleared out the RAM in our computers, but now we simply buy more digital space
- How holding onto stuff has become normalised with the huge increase in people using storage units
- How the stories we carry, the limiting beliefs we cling to, the emotional history we hold onto all take up space in our heads (and our hearts)
- How physical & emotional pain also take up space
- How meditation helps create white space
- How the practice of freeing up our physical and emotional environments helps us think and breathe more freely
