HOARDING: Buried Alive In Self-Destructive THOUGHTS?

So I’m watching a little TLC with the wife and daughter.

Spent an interesting hour watching “Hoarding: Buried Alive”.

If you’ve never seen it, just imagine the following:

Negative emotions, begets…

Compulsive behaviour, begets…

Hanging on to things that don’t serve you, begets…

HOARDING.

Now, please hear my - I’m not knocking the people on the show.

I can’t even imagine what it’s like to live with the type of emotional barriers these people have.

But what I can imagine is how we tend to do this in our own lives.

How I do it in my own life.

Not with 60 bottles of shampoo or 34 bags of dirty socks…

instead, by watching this crazy show with seemingly crazy people, I’ve discovered one unique thing:

We’re All A Bit Crazy…
…Especially When We Fail To
Rid Ourselves Of Negative Thoughts

Think about the self-limiting beliefs you have.

On a daily basis.

The ones that don’t serve you.

Don’t serve any purpose at all.

“I’ll never be able to do THAT…”

“My mom/dad/uncle/teacher was right, I CAN’T…”

“He/She/They will never like me…love me…”

“They could, but we could never…”

“I’m not worthy…”

“I’m incapable….”

There’s so many of these damned thoughts, if they were Jeopardy categories we’d make Alex’s head spin.

“I’ll take ‘Total BS’ for $1200 please…”

No.

Not today.

It’s time to stop hoarding the thoughts in our minds that trap us.

Thoughts that surround us and make life impossible to live.

It’s time to MAKE the CHOICE that will FREE US from bondage.

Because as tough as life is, we still have the ability to choose.

“I am convinced that life is
10% what happens to me
and 90% how I react to it.”
-Charles Swindoll

It’s time to clean up the mess in our head…

I’m making a list of thoughts I don’t want to live with anymore, and I’d invite you to do the same.

I’m burning mine in the firepit out back.  (And smoking a cigar while I’m at it)

What about you?
