Is what weighs you down worth it?

One of the unseen costs of a complicated life is increased friction and drag. The more “things” to attend to, and hold in tension, the harder it is to move forward. The “stuff” of life, drags us down and limits not only our freedom of movement but also our ability to take courageous, bold, leaps.
THIS WEEK: Imagine you are currently carrying a backpack full of rocks that are weighing you down. You can feel the weight at this very moment. Spend some time considering what these rocks may be for you personally… consider what it is that is weighing you down. What might you need to let go of so that you can experience greater joy, freedom, and purposeful action?

 

All the best,

Steve Lawson - Monk Manual Founder
