69. Why We Need To Stop Holding On To Things “ Just In Case”
The just in case excuse for holding on is a messy combination of fear and procrastination. We hold on because we aren’t quite ready to let go but we rarely use or enjoy the just in case stuff we keep. Take a look in the back of your closet, in the junk drawer, under the sink or in boxes in the garage or attic and it’s clear that just in case means never. In this episode, we’ll cover some of the common items you may struggle to let go of “just in case” along with strategies to help you let go with more ease.
