How are you Dealing with Life’s Trash?

A while back in med school I was totally broke and stuck at the grocery store deliberating over buying the small box of kitchen trash bags or the large box.

There was a significant savings in money from buying the larger box. Unfortunately, I was so poor at the time that the three bucks made a huge difference in my mind. After a long process, I thought about it and realized that the “trash in my life” was not going anywhere anytime soon.

I grabbed the large box of kitchen bags because buying the small box of garbage bags in my mind was not accepting the fact, nor making a serious commitment to removing the “trash” in my life.

Regardless if the trash in your life is compulsive behaviors, addictions, depression, anxiety, bad relationships, financial problems or what not, the first step to resolving the issue is to make a commitment to doing something about it every single day over a very long period of time. “Inch by inch is a cinch. Yard by yard is hard” they say…

I have to laugh over trash bags because I remember back in under-grad none of us would ever even spend money on trash bags. Beer was much more important than trash bags. Whether I was at my own house or a friend’s house it always seemed that a grocery store bag was ridiculously overflowing with trash. Consequently back then our lives were all a mess too. Was it because of Feng Shui? Or was it that we were always thinking of immediate gratification without considering the long term possibilities?

Hopefully by the time this year’s supply of “trash bags” get used up you will be ready to work on cleaning up a new area of your life.
