There are so many things that happen in our life that we define as baggage. We often feel we aren’t able to be successful in a new venture because we bring too much history to the new event. But did you realize it’s not so much the history you bring, but rather the emotions assigned to the history. In other words, if you are ashamed of something in your past then that shame will be all you feel when you think about your past event. We then take on the identify of the event and that’s how we have “baggage.”
The person you are today is due to all the wonderful and not so wonderful events in your life. Would you want to go through some of the past events again, of course not, but you can look at who you are today and realize that without some of those past “baggage” events you wouldn’t be the amazing person you are today. Remember if you are feeling negative emotions about something in your past, that is really what baggage is, not the event itself. Remove the negative emotion, or see how it has allowed you to be the person you are today. Let go of your negative self-beliefs. It’s a new day.
We all get overwhelmed and sometimes don’t know what to do. LIFE LESSONS is your new “go-to” book to help you navigate life.
