You're In Your Own Way

You're In Your Own Way

You set your bags down right next to you and forget you're still carrying them. The old stories. The grudges. The roles you outgrew years ago. Even the wins you can't stop replaying. All of it follows you around and quietly keeps you stuck, hiding the clearer, calmer, more honest version of you that's been there the whole time.

In this one I walk through the four steps I use to start putting the baggage down:

Be willing to face it

Name it, out loud or on paper

Commit to yourself to let it go

Stay vigilant, and stay kind while you do it

You don't have to empty the whole suitcase today. Name one thing you've been carrying, and start there.
