Every week I walk into my closet and lie to myself.
Welcome to this week's Thought Gem — your reminder to pause, breathe, and choose your focus.
I grab the same four outfits I always grab, the ones I cycle through on repeat, tell myself I really need to deal with all of this, and then turn around and walk out. Nothing changes. Same lie. Same closet. Same outfits.
Here is what I have been avoiding. Most of my closet is still full of my corporate costumes. Suits. Dress pants. Dresses. The whole costume of a life I walked away from. Just hanging there completely undisturbed like nobody told them the show was over.
And I think I know why I have not touched them. Some part of me has been keeping that door cracked open just in case. What if I need the costume again.
oof. yeah.
Your invitation for this week:
Where are you keeping the door open just in case? What is still hanging there from a chapter that is already closed? It does not have to be a closet.
What do you need to let go of?
Come hang with us Wednesday. We are getting into all of it.
