The past couple of months, I’ve been on a journey – a journey to release and let go of my attachment to material objects and bring my life’s possessions down.
So I started to part with a lot of my things – things that I had grown attached to, things that I had assigned value to, things that I had given importance to but things that were just things.
It was very hard even though these things I knew were going to a place they’d be well used and loved.
And I realised how I accumulate so much, and hold on to things in the outside world, to things that are transient of nature and things that I’ll eventually lose anyway. How we sometimes feel an emptiness or void within us and to fill this gap go seeking and searching and collecting outwards, but never truly feeling like we have enough. And with that comes the clinging and the attachment, holding onto things out of fear for the same reason.
In letting go, today, of the things, the fear and the mindset of scarcity, I realised that I have enough and I am abundantly provided for always. And I can choose to practice Aparigraha and move towards a life of simplicity and authentic connection and joy.
While I still have so many things to part with, it’s a journey, a beautiful unfolding, a necessary process.
If this resonates, try parting with one thing that no longer serves. Trust me, you’ll feel a lot lighter.
