I have been on a mission to get rid of stuff for a while now. It has been in my head for several years… just rehearsing and thinking about letting go of stuff, the stuff I have gathered for a long time and really love and have wanted to keep forever. The problem is have too much of it! Sound familiar? In the last 2 years I have been getting rid of stuff both physical and emotional. I have come to understand the two are very closely tied together.I am one of those people who loves to learn, loves to read, and I am always looking for ways to make myself a better human being. I have known for some time that letting go of my stuff has the added benefit of opening myself up for more growth.
In an effort to practice what I have learned, I finally had a the big garage sale I have been rehearsing in my head for months. I gathered my stuff, got a permit, made my signs and got ready to make some deals. As I laid out all the things to sell, I felt sad at getting rid of some things that I love, but I put them out there as bargains for someone else.As I watched one of my first shoppers choose all my favorite treasures I felt panic. She had picked up the sconces I painted, the shelf I faux finished, some great picture frames, old candlesticks, and the awesome fabric I had collected. Inside I heard, “No, don’t take my stuff.” I wanted to take it all back in the house real quick. Instead, I remembered what I knew to be true. If I will let this go it will create a space not only in my physical world but my emotional world too. I knew I would be lighter, clearer, and happier. As the lady handed me $36 for all the “good stuff” I told her I hoped she would appreciate the things that I was having a hard time letting go of. She assured me she understood and would enjoy them just like I had.
About 30 minutes later I begin to experience the lightness. I had let go and it felt good! I was feeling the space for more, not more stuff, but more breathing room. Letting go sometimes starts with the physical and moves into the emotional, and spiritual. Clearing out what doesn’t serve me anymore to embrace what does. I am creating more room in my home, more room in my heart, and a deeper connection to truth that comes from choosing to let go. Now that is something to celebrate!
