1656 || controlled demolition

from Make Your Damn Bed

Sometimes, when the facades are crumbling, you may start to recognize the need for a controlled demolition. Not to destroy anything of value, but to strategically dismantle some of the more daunting aspects of your current human experience. Any routines, beliefs, relationships, that are no longer helpful, we must be willing to strip back to the foundation, so we can actually assess the underlying damage, reset, and rebuild. The thought experiment of a controlled demolition is very helpful, not because it’s important to think of collapse, but because it can be empowering to remember your ability to rebuild better. When you take place in a controlled demolition, you are attempting to address what is worth saving, what is worth improving, and what needs to be completely gutted and reimagined from the ground up. READ THE SCRIPT FROM TODAY'S EPISODE on Julie's Medium Blog.
