As I look around at all the things I'm about to sort through & give away before we transition to living full-time in , I'm met with a feeling of fear. Fear that I will never be able to replace these things, that I'm going to notice the absence of these things once I'm on the road, and that I won't have enough. That fear lasts for about 5 seconds before my real voice of reason kicks in, saying "good try, fear!"
Fear forgot to include the facts, as usual.
( and I on one of our annual backpacking trips with our family, friends, and all of our dogs. This photo represents what I love & value most in life- my relationships, my dogs, & getting out in nature!)
Here are the facts:
By releasing my things, I know I am deliberately making more room for the things that I really care about, like traveling, creativity, simplicity, and new experiences! One of the main reasons
and I are transitioning into RV life full-time is to create a location-free lifestyle, which would take the joy out of it if we were hauling our crap along with us, ha!
I am very resourceful. If I ever find myself really needing something, I usually find a way to get it. However, more recently I find myself practicing the art of "allowing" - letting my desires flow to me with ease, rather than forcing it to happen.
I always have MORE than enough. I have my health, my family and friends, access to healthy food & water, I'm bringing my loved ones along in a home on wheels that will take us to amazing, beautiful places, and the list goes on. I know I can always access joy whenever I tap into a place of gratitude.
While those facts usually soothe any fear of letting go that pops up, this time is a little more challenging for me because there are some things that bring me lots of joy (like my Blendtec blender) that may not make sense to use in the RV considering we'll be boon-docking most of the time. I know the facts above, but I find myself needing to acknowledge a deeper truth to override this fear and it's this -

What might have seemed like a scary truth in the past, knowing that you bring yourself wherever you go has turned into a comforting, healing thought for me. Knowing that I can always access the feeling of love and joy from within, regardless of the situation, is all I need. (sorry, Blendtec blender)
Keep it going!
