Linda G Hill gives us a prompt every Friday for stream of consciousness Saturday. Check her out for all the details. Fast summary you write. Don’t overthink. Just write what the prompt says to you. Done.
I am a work in progress on a lot of things. When I read the prompt “un/pack” my first thought was emotional baggage. Hmmm…. yes my week was that bad. Why do I still question myself? Why do I still care what other people think? Yes, I have gotten better with shaking things off and stopping the downward spiral sooner.
I guess it starts with recognizing when you are heading down a dark path. I know I can never eliminate negative thoughts. So the best I can do is to shake things off sooner. Realize I am enough. Also realize I still have stuff to unpack.
You can always start now!
You can always start now 
We all have work to do, every single day. It sounds like you’re busy doing your work and that’s the best you can do.

Aren’t we all? I figure I’ll have work to do right up until my last day…that’s just kinda how it works. 😉

Yes, you are correct. I heard a quote that says “It’s none of your business what other people think of you.” That pretty much sums it up for me when I am having a moment of unconsciousness. Wishing you a terrific week! Thanks for sharing. xx

I have heard that quote also and worth keeping in mind. Was away for a week – family member passed away. That puts things in perspective.

It’s good to think of ourselves as a work in progress. I like it. Never quite there, but always changing.

Thank you for sharing this at B.O.S.S. and I needed your post today. We should all strive to unpack quicker and more often. ♥

I hope your weeks are going better. I have found that as I mature, it is easier for me to accept things that I cannot change, and let them go. Roll with it, and move on to something more positive to focus on. That being said, it has taken experiences, living, and maturity to get to this point.

I agree some days I am better than others. Always a work in progress. I think as we mature we also realize what is truly important and what is just “fluff” so to speak. Thank you for visiting.

Good luck with “shaking it off” — always much much harder than it sounds.
