Messy Musicians and Creatives Chaos to Compassion Day 29

Today, let’s continue with clothes.

Things you like but are tired, need mending etc – if they need mending how about give yourself a time frame – eg 2 weeks to either mend or get it to a professional who will. If not, they go in cloth recycling. In which case put them on the calendar and commit to let them go if you have not mended them by then.

Things that no longer fit. If your clothes size fluctuates a lot, you will need to keep a wider selection of sizes. If you are larger than you used to be and are keeping clothes hoping to fit back into them, may I offer this idea, ‘what we resist persists’ and that if we actually let go of the smaller size, we are sending a message to ourselves, the Universe, and our unconscious mind that we are accepting where we are now (oftentimes if we are hoping to slim down into clothes, we are not at all accepting of how our bodies are now) and sometimes that releasing of resistance is actually enough for our bodies to start letting go.

There is also the possibility that both our larger self and too much stuff fulfil a similar function in helping us feel safe and protected from the world and life somewhat. An interesting concept to muse on if you like.

That skirt or dress you love that’s too small, can you let it go to someone who will use and enjoy it and offer yourself freedom and space in the process? Not forcing, only letting go what we feel ready to. With compassion and kindness for our process, always x
