The Greatest Challenges to Letting Go
The two main challenges to letting are:
Attachment to the Past
Fear of the Future
A lot of times it’s not what you think: it’s not the large pot you want in your home, but your desire to have people over. Maybe you spent a lot of money on an item, or it was a gift - do you want to keep the item or do you feel like you should? Other items may have helped you through a difficult time but they no longer have a place in your current lifestyle.
Your attachments and fears shape not only the things you hold onto, but also how you make choices in every aspect of your life, including your relationships with people and your job. These patterns are an expression of the values that guide your life.
When attachments and fears cloud your judgment and clutter your space, it’s hard to know what your are looking for now, in this moment.
The best way to find out what we really need is to get rid of what we don’t.
Take a moment to think about what’s holding you back, and how you can move forward.
