Episode 108: The Velcro Episode

Diana Bader and Becky Berry talk about the pros and cons of letting things stick to us – including our ideas about life and death. It's also an episode about letting go of the things that hold you back.  It's good to examine the things that we hold on to tightly. Perhaps there are some we hold on to too tightly. Velcro is cool because it can be repositioned and reused – just like our experiences. We can find ourselves attached to other people's expectations which can lead to our becoming detached from our true selves. We can tell we're inappropriately attached to something when hanging on to it causes undue stress and hardship. Pretending we're moving is a great way to get rid of things we're no longer attached to without actually having to move! Sometimes we become so attached to ideas that we forget to re-assess them as our lives progress. When an attachment to an idea or outcome has us in its grasp, they become self-limiting. It's important to get our attachments aligned with where we are in our lives right now. Re-examining our attachment to ideas, things, places, and people can lead us to new insights. We don't have to destroy attachments that hold us back. Many times we just need to attach to them in a different way.
