The Weight of Objects   

In life, we tend to have an easier time acquiring possessions than we do getting rid of them. Just as we harbor emotional baggage that is difficult to let go of, our lives can tend to be filled with material objects that we may feel compelled to hold on to. Most people are not conscious of how much they own and how many of their possessions are no longer adding value to their life. They fiercely hold on to material objects because this makes them feel secure or comfortable. While it’s true that the ownership of “stuff” can make you feel good for awhile, it seldom satisfies the deep inner longings that nearly everyone has for fulfillment and satisfaction. It is only when we are ready to let go of our baggage and be vulnerable that it becomes possible to recognize the emotional hold that our possessions can have on us.

It’s not uncommon to hold on to material objects because we are attached to them or fear the empty spaces that will remain if we get rid of them. Giving away the souvenirs from a beloved voyage may feel like we are erasing the memory of that time in our life. We may also worry that our loved ones will feel hurt if we don’t keep the gifts they’ve given us. It’s easy to convince ourselves that unused possessions might come in handy someday or that parting with them will cause you emotional pain. However, when your personal space is filled with objects, there is no room for anything new to enter and stay in your life. Your collection of belongings may “protect” you from the uncertainties of an unknown future while keeping you stuck in the past. Holding on to unnecessary possessions often goes hand in hand with holding on to pain, anger, and resentment, and letting go of your material possessions may help you release emotional baggage.When you make a conscious decision to fill your personal space with only the objects that you need or bring you joy, your energy level will soar. Clearing your personal space can lead to mental clarity and an improved memory. As you learn to have a more practical and temporary relationship to objects, positive changes will happen, and you’ll have space to create the life that you desire.

If by chance you find yourself hanging on to things that you haven’t used for years and they are NOT considered an Heirloom, Let it GO!  Many are holding onto things which have served their purpose, and will only become a burden to those who may have to dispose of it later as it may have little or NO meaning to them. If organized correctly, There may be a Treasure Chest of Money to be made for Self or a Respectable Charity Organization. Give Away, Sell, whatever, let it Go and Free Yourself and those you Love.

Americans have made and continue to make owners of Storage Facilities Rich, as they in Most cases are Holding onto your Past of which you will Never Return to. Take that Storage Monthly Payment and Treat Yourself to Something Good! you deserve that for making a Better Choice of your resources. As T.D. Jakes has said, “Let it Go!” This is the Time of the Year to have a Meaningful Project that will bring you benefits for the Year ahead, if not a Lifetime. Just Something to think About!

Enjoy this Day!
