The Weight of Objects

We hold onto material objects because we think they make us feel secure, when in reality they are cluttering our lives.

In life, we tend to have an easier time acquiring possessions than we do getting rid of them. Just as we harbor emotional baggage that is difficult to let go of, our lives can tend to be filled with material objects that we may feel compelled to hold on to. Most people are not conscious of how much they own and how many of their possessions are no longer adding value to their life. They fiercely hold on to material objects because this makes them feel secure or comfortable. While it’s true that the ownership of “stuff” can make you feel good for awhile, it seldom satisfies the deep inner longings that nearly everyone has for fulfillment and satisfaction. It is only when we are ready to let go of our baggage and be vulnerable that it becomes possible to recognize the emotional hold that our possessions can have on us.

It’s not uncommon to hold on to material objects because we are attached to them or fear the empty spaces that will remain if we get rid of them. Giving away the souvenirs from a beloved voyage may feel like we are erasing the memory of that time in our life. We may also worry that our loved ones will feel hurt if we don’t keep the gifts they’ve given us. It’s easy to convince ourselves that unused possessions might come in handy someday or that parting with them will cause you emotional pain. However, when your personal space is filled with objects, there is no room for anything new to enter and stay in your life. Your collection of belongings may “protect” you from the uncertainties of an unknown future while keeping you stuck in the past. Holding on to unnecessary possessions often goes hand in hand with holding on to pain, anger, and resentment, and letting go of your material possessions may help you release emotional baggage.

When you make a conscious decision to fill your personal space with only the objects that you need or bring you joy, your energy level will soar. Clearing your personal space can lead to mental clarity and an improved memory. As you learn to have a more practical and temporary relationship to objects, positive changes will happen, and you’ll have space to create the life that you desire. Amen! ✨✨

@loaf,

Good day in the rock and roll capital. Loaf I did see your post from earlier on the passing
of Meat Loaf I have covered him over the years. I am really shocked at this. My dad loved
Meat Loaf and his music. ✨I think I like the campy Rocky Horror Picture Show the best of
his movies.

We are losing a lot of people in this New Year. Louie Anderson passed today. I just saw a
commercial last night with him just walking by another comedian just smiling and now this.

May they all RIP!

Loaf I hope you are keeping warm we are 14 degrees right now in OZ. Shizzle! 😜
How are the kids doing? Let me get something warm for you.

Keep warm I am on pipe patrol making sure the pipes are flowing just right. 😎

Michael Lee Aday, better known as Meat Loaf, was an American singer and actor. He was noted for his powerful, wide-ranging voice and theatrical live shows.

Meat Loaf, the larger-than-life rocker whose 1977 debut, “Bat Out of Hail ” — a campy amalgam of hard rock and Broadway-style bombast — became one of the best-selling albums of all time, died on Thursday. He was 74. His death was confirmed by his manager, Michael Greene. A cause of death was not given.

RIP Meat Loaf. ✨
