The Junk Heap That Heals

Written by Virginia Reeves


How many of you have heardrepparttar term emotional baggage? That'srepparttar 101859 negative notions and emotions we carry around with us. Some people try to justify it with statements of a dysfunctional family. Others blame poor schooling. Fate gets a bad name too. As I was going through one of my folders on self-esteem, I rediscovered an article published by Sunshine Magazine in September 1990. If I like an article, it gets clipped or copied and I actually have a good filing system for all sorts of topics. I've had a couple of issues in my life recently that I need to dump so this article caught my attention. The old saying of teaching what you most need to know is so true. Perhaps it will help you or someone you know. It was taken fromrepparttar 101860 Kleinknecht Gems of Thought Encyclopedia.

"Good, like truth, isrepparttar 101861 same yesterday, today, and forever.

In addition to doing a good deed, junk something every day. Junk your fears, junk your worries, junk your anxieties, junk your little jealousies, envies and hatred. Whatever interferes with your getting up and getting on inrepparttar 101862 world - junk it!

Every night before you go to sleep, put uponrepparttar 101863 junk heap all your disappointments, all your grudges, your revengeful feelings, your malice. Junk everything that is hindering you from becoming a big, strong, vibrant character.

The trouble with most of us is that we have no junk heap of this sort. We pull all our mental enemies, all our handicaps, our discouragements, our losses, our troubles and worries and trials along with us every day. That consumes more than 50 percent of our vitality and energy, so that we have onlyrepparttar 101864 smaller amount left forrepparttar 101865 great task of making our lives a success."
