I was happily surprised by how meaningful my post, Putting Your Baggage Down is a Must When You Want to Change, was for my readers.

After reading it, a few of my clients shared that the idea that their past is carried in a suitcase and they can actually choose to stop carrying it was like a light bulb for them. One of my clients burst into tears the minute we started to talk and said, “That’s it! It’s all about the suitcase I carry! In my suitcase it says in big letters, ‘Something is wrong with me!’ I’m ready to put the suitcase down.”

Another client wrote to me: “I woke up this morning ready to start letting go of this baggage I’ve been carrying around. I was actually making the mental picture of me filling suitcases with fears and blocks and putting them on an escalator to God. The image of the suitcase staring at me is such an important reminder for me!”

Today’s affirmation is for you. Especially, if you feel that your suitcase is too heavy and you’re ready to put it down.

These affirmations can help you change, but YOU are the only one who can choose to put your baggage down.

Every morning this week, ask yourself: “In what way am I willing today to put my baggage down?”

Send me a quick email with your intention for the day. You might want to start your email with:
 “Today I’m willing to put my……. down”.  (Fear, suffering, thinking I’m not good enough, beating myself up). Be authentic. Take this affirmation and make it your own.
