I cleaned out my closet this week.
Sounds unexciting, right?
Wrong. It was very exciting because in sorting through clothes I hadn’t worn in over a year, I experienced a mind-blowing revelation:
If it doesn’t work for you, don’t keep it.
We’ve all heard that old saying that “the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
I realized I’d been practicing a little insanity by hanging on to my old clothes that didn’t make me feel good because, in the back of my mind, I hoped that one day I’d put them on and NOT feel frumpy and uncomfortable.
That experience in my closet really made me think: How often do we hold on to thoughts/ideas/beliefs/habits that aren’t serving us… in hopes that “someday” they will?
Why not just ditch those old clothes thoughts/ideas/beliefs/habits that don’t work and put on new ones that do work?
