Throw it out

Posted on by philipdodson

If you want to decide whether or not you should keep something simply pick it up and hold it or if it’s too big, spend a silent moment gazing at it.

If holding or looking at it brings you deep joy, then it’s worth keeping.

If not let it go.

All things are temporary and at some point at the end of journey we lose everything.

We hold onto so much stuff and it affects our wellbeing in a negative way.

When we decluttering we feel so much better and physically and mentally lifted.

We’ve all accumulated so much unnecessary stuff and the compulsiveness of it is making us ill.

Throw it out and stop seeking our happiness through consuming.

I don’t mean literally throw it out, give it to someone who needs it, give to charity or recycle it.

Stuff, who needs that shit?

Possession aren’t the route to happiness.

They are the way to burden and suffering. We attach ourselves to them and then we suffer and fear the loss of them.

Our ego uses them as a weapon of superiority.

We can step away from this burden at any point. It’s a choice we can all make. We can unlearn the conditioning of the consumer society.

Joy is a choice, it is the path, the route. It comes from our very essence and soul. However, it is clouded when we seek happiness from the external world.

When we allow joy to flow we realise there is no need to accumulate possessions. It is a never ending route to suffering within, as whatever we accumulate there can bc always be more or someone who has bigger or better stuff. We become dissatisfied in search for happiness in the hollowness of materials.
