Emotion of Package Weight

By Grace Clarkson Last updated Oct 12, 2021

For many of us, we feel the weight of the world pressing down upon us. We feel the weight of our expectations, our desires, our commitments. We feel the weight of other people’s expectations, desires, commitments.

Do you feel like you’re carrying around the weight of the world on your shoulders? It’s time to free yourself up by figuring out what’s in your emotional backpack. I have no doubt that your shoulders will feel lighter once we’re done!

When it’s back to school time kids across the country get out their backpacks and decide exactly what needs to go in them. The key in this process is not to have too much in a backpack or it’ll be too heavy and bog them down.

It is not with a literal backpack but figuratively speaking with your emotional backpack and the things you carry around in your life. Not exactly sure what I’m talking about? Let me explain.

What exactly is an emotional backpack?

While you may not be able to see or feel it, you’re carrying a backpack around on your back. Much like a student preparing for school you get to choose what you put inside your backpack.

Some things in your backpack are fun and light but other things are hard and heavy.

One year ago, I saw an article when was swiping my phone, it is about a brand story, the brand call WATERFLY, the brand who crafted types of bags.

The brand is delivering their concept to people that should be release your invisible weight in your package, it was abstract inspiration for us, after the realization and I started the self reflection, how heavy I been carrying on these years of my life?

Overhead view down the reality that I was carrying around a ton of things that weren’t necessary and was unintentionally weighing myself down.

I flipped the way of living
I’ve totally changed the mentality from the bottom, overview yourself and move on with right direction and take a progressive approach to achieving goals.

Even to this day when I’m processing through a situation I’ll remind myself, “that’s not in your backpack.” This thought process changed my life and I want the same for you!

I believe your backpack is weighed down with so many things and many of those things are unnecessary. You don’t need to have them in your life and you can let go, say no or step back from them.

2021 still in the chaos, but it is a good timing to have a deep thinking individually. What can you unload today that will give your shoulders a little lighter load to carry? I encourage you to empty your emotional backpack today and decide what you want to put back in.
