Check Your Emotional Baggage

The Seeds You Sow

We took a break last week to exercise some self-care! We're back though to wrap up the Internal Wokeness Series by having an in-depth vulnerable conversation on how to deal and unpack emotional baggage, so we can be the best version of ourselves for our current and future partners. One way to ensure that we are the best version of ourselves is to pause, and take the time to acknowledge and assess any past pain or disappointments we've endured in previous relationships, before embarking on our next journey with a new love. By unpacking our emotional experiences and placing them in their proper places, we allow ourselves to move forward on our emotional journey with others in freedom, joy, and a grande sense of love, which provides security and strength to ourselves and all those we encounter. We referenced two articles for you this week: Three Ways To Break Free of Your Past Relationship Baggage posted by Psychology Today and 5 Steps to Deal With Emotional Baggage So It Does Not Define You by tinybuddah.com. We offered tips on how to unpack emotional baggage and identified obstacles that may prevent one from doing so, and even provided our own personal testimonies of overcoming barriers that at one point prevented us from unpacking our own emotional emotional baggage. We acknowledged that unpacking is a process that requires courage to deal with the painful truth of our past, willingness to forgive yourself and others, a mature mindset, and a desire to grow and seek better for yourself and others. We hope this episode inspires you to identify the things you've been carrying that no longer serve you, so that you can travel free of emotional baggage and experience a healthy love for yourself, and with others.
