Junk

This evening I was clearing out my email box. I literally had hundreds of junk emails that I had saved: notifications from Netflix saying they had sent or received a movie, emails from a website for mothers that I never read, and Facebook notifications saying that Joe Shmoe has added me as a friend. The list goes on. I keep everything regardless of whether or not I will ever read it again. Why? Because some day I MIGHT need it! This habit carries over into my paper files too. I have clutter everywhere to the point that I can’t function sometimes. Then I finally get tired of it all and throw everything away. Then, of course, the very next week I do need something that I have trashed. This then reiterates my need to cling to everything. But, I survive even without that one thing I needed and am much happier in a clutter-free environment. I can find things easier and am not weighted down by the junk. I can breathe again!

Challenge: What are you holding onto that you need to release?
