As I do so often…I want to start with a question today.
Have you ever picked something up…something you've picked up a hundred times before and immediately thought: I should probably get rid of this.
And then put it right back where you found it?
Maybe you've done that a few times.
Maybe you've done it every single time you've opened that same closet for the last five years.
Maybe it's a box in the basement that's been there so long you've stopped seeing it. Except you haven't really stopped seeing it, because every time you walk past it, something in your chest goes tight.
Maybe it's baby clothes.
Maybe it's your mom's dishes.
Maybe it's a box of craft supplies from that hobby you were absolutely going to start.
Maybe it's paperwork from a job you left, or files from a business idea that never got off the ground, or equipment from a season of life that ended and you're not sure how you feel about that.
Whatever it is, every time you see it, the conversation starts.
"I need to deal with this."
"I should make a decision."
"Why haven't I handled this yet?"
And then nothing happens.
The item stays.
The guilt stays.
The low-level mental noise stays.
And you start to make it mean something about yourself.
Maybe you're too sentimental.
Maybe you're just disorganized.
Maybe you're indecisive.
Maybe you're the kind of person who can never finish what they start.
And here's what I want to say to you before we go any further.
None of those things are true.
The reason you can't make a decision about certain items has absolutely nothing to do with organization.
And once you understand what's really going on, everything changes.
That's what today's episode is about.
Let's get into it.
