Attachments


Attachments
 I just made some pretty significant life changes.  For me, it was pretty exciting, somewhat overwhelming and at times downright scary!  But it was also very necessary.  The reasons why are not really important.  What is important is what I learned about myself in the process.
 I found that some of the things I held closest and tightest, were the things keeping me from living my life in the best way possible. The harder I worked at keeping it all together, the more things began to unravel. Most of the damage was to myself. Unhealthy attachments were making me physically, emotionally and spiritually sick.
 About a year ago, I felt God leading me to clean out my clothes closet. Trust me... it's been YEARS!  As I began to go through my things, I realized that much of the stuff in there, I hadn't worn in a VERY long time.  Yet, I had a hard time putting it in a bag that was to go to the Salvation Army or another donation center.  I had a sentimental attachment to pieces of cloth.  That's all they really were, but to me, they represented my life.  My past life.  I was stuck living in the past. But, I was determined to follow through and I did a great job on the first attempt.  Since then, I have gone through this process 3 more times.  This really helped when I started a new direction in my life and moved into an apartment!
 As I discarded the past, I began the journey of embracing my present and looking forward to my future. I feel so "untangled" and free. I see things from a new "perspective".  I found that I have a LOT to offer in the way of wisdom and guidance for others who feel like they are "stuck" in the past.
That's when I decided to become certified as a Holistic Life Coach.
 It's not about just cleaning closets. It's about cleaning out the "unhealthy attachments" from your mind and spirit, so your body can function at it's optimal potential.
  Now, I am attached to healthy living, thinking and being.  All Is Well!
