How To Figure Out What Is Toxic in Your Life by Britt Bolnick
My thoughts these days are all about hunkering down under feather comforters, baking root vegetables, lighting candles on chilly, dark evenings, and curling up with people I love. I think about a mama bear as she prepares for the long, dark, sleepy winter -- how does she pick a safe cave? What does she take in with her? Nurturance, in the form of the fat from the extra food she's eaten to sustain her through the winter, family/community, in the form of her cubs or mate who she dens with, her warm, solid self, and really, not much else.
Here's the thing, though-- you don't see the bear lugging a broken ladder into her cave with her, because she has no use for it. Or a pack of hyenas, right? They don't serve her at all. Or some poisonous berries -- she wouldn't be dragging a branch of those in with her. They won't nurture her at all.
As the cooler weather comes to the Northeast I'm thinking similar thoughts. I'm eating healthier, wholesome food, appreciating the bits of light and warmth in each day, holding my family and community closer in the longer nights. And the bear is my model for getting really clear about what in my life right now is serving me, going into this quiet, dark time. What is nurturing me? What is useful to have in my life? What brings me light, joy, and well-being?
And here's the thing: everything else can stay OUTSIDE my cave. I don't need to drag broken, toxic, non-working pieces with me into this season!
How liberating! How wonderful! Where do I sign up to dump all my loads of painful, broken crap? Right?
I know -- it's not always that easy. So in the spirit of liberation (which is all the buzz on the streets these days, y'all), I'm offering you some tried and true tips on cutting down on the toxic baggage that might have crept into your life over the past year.
