So, today I've been purging... MY EMAIL! I started out with close to 4000 unread emails and I'm down to just 150! WooHoo! As I was cleaning them out I came across some that made me think... Hmm Should I delete these? Then it occurred to me. Do they bring you joy?
It just so happened that these emails were some that actually upset when I saw them and yet I had an urge to hang on to them. Crazy! So, I answered my question with the delete button and I have to tell you it felt good!
It got me thinking... there are other things that I could apply this question to as well! Stuff, papers, activities, and even people to a certain extent. So, I'm on a mission to purge those 'items' that do not bring me joy from my life. I mean really! Why would I want to keep 'things' that have bad feelings attached to them? 'Things' that make me feel bad? I want to be surrounded with joy, those things, activities, and people that bring me joy... Otherwise... I think they are headed outta here!
