Absolutely loved the past two episodes. The depth of conversation and your modeling of compassion for each other is extremely helpful... I’m slowly getting where JFM is, and trying to focus on what ways I can make my immediate world better, and not letting the outside things that I can’t control take my tranquility and therefore limit my ability to contribute in a meaningful and conscious way. I would agree that your religious upbringing plays a part in getting through this layer, Ryan. I grew up extremely religious as well. While my religion was not as doomsday as yours, I think the general tone of religion and the afterlife tends toward following these “guidelines” that will guarantee your salvation later, instead of focusing on the present. As a child, we are more susceptible to taking that onto ourselves, and creating this protective layer of catastrophic thinking to protect us. As JFM mentioned, the fight or flight is being triggered when it doesn’t need to be, creating the anxiety and stress. All this is a long-winded way of saying, thank you both for your insight and vulnerability lately, it’s truly been making a difference in my healing and growth. 🌻💕☺️ Abby

As for hidden clutter: Garden supplies, emails, congrats cards from wedding two yrs ago, childhood photos, empty PB jars, clothes needing mending... Donate hotel freebies to homeless shelters.
