#409: Checked Baggage (Friday, October 31)

"Your baggage can be scars or beauty marks." -Jeannie Mai

Everyone has "baggage." It could be something someone said to you, or an experience that created, or highlighted an existing insecurity. Sometimes the baggage is unconscious; we don't even know that something is an issue until it rears its ugly head. Other times, we know what our baggage is, but still carry it around with us.

This week's action: Check your baggage. Confront your insecurities. Whatever's weighing on your mind, speak it aloud - whether it's to yourself in the privacy of your home, to a trusted confidante, or to a therapist - but don't carry it around anymore.

Why we're doing it: Insecurities prevent you from being the greatest you can be. Baggage left unchecked will only get heavier to bear. It'll weigh you down. Carrying it around will make it harder to reach and achieve your goals.
