"Unshakable Core: Clearing the Clutter to Come Home to Myself"

Today, I paused. Not because everything was done — but because I was done carrying what no longer belongs to me. For too long, I’ve been walking around with emotional clutter — thoughts, pressures, obligations, stories that were never mine. I’ve been functioning on autopilot, chasing a version of life that doesn’t even feel like mine. And the truth is: I’m tired of it. So, I’m taking out the garbage. Not the physical kind — the emotional kind. The invisible weight I carry in my thoughts and on my shoulders.

I’ve spent too long carrying the weight of things that do not serve me. I’ve lived in overdrive, convincing myself that staying “on top of everything” means I’m doing okay. But I’m not here to survive — I’m here to live. And to live fully, joyfully, I have to start throwing things away.

So today, I’m taking out the garbage.

🗑 I throw away the belief that my worth is tied to my productivity. I am allowed to slow down, even when there’s still more to do.

🗑 I throw away perfectionism. Done is better than perfect. Real is better than flawless.

🗑 I throw away the guilt for choosing myself. I am no longer available for the people-pleasing habits that made me ignore my needs. Choosing me is not selfish — it’s necessary.

🗑 I throw away the pressure to be constantly available. I do not need to answer every text, email, or call right away. I am allowed to pause.

🗑 I throw away functioning on autopilot. I’m done moving through my days numb and disconnected. I choose presence. I choose to notice, to feel, to engage.

🗑 I throw away the narrative that the rest is laziness. Rest is fuel. Rest is a boundary. Rest is a radical act of self-respect.

🗑 I throw away the fear of being misunderstood. Not everyone will get me — and that’s okay. My truth doesn’t require validation to be real.

Lastly, ask yourself

What am I keeping?

💛 My peace.

💛 My right to rest.

💛 My truth, even when it’s messy.

💛 My voice, even when it shakes.

💛 My presence, even when I’m quiet.
