| 0:24.2 | Welcome back to the Anxiety Coaches podcast. |
| 0:27.6 | I'm your host and coach, Gina Ryan, and I am so happy to be with you again today |
| 0:34.1 | as together we can consider the many ways to bring your mind and body back to its |
| 0:40.5 | natural peace and calm. In today's episode, I'm talking about clutter and our calm and how they go |
| 0:48.1 | together and how it is safe to let go. I wanted to start with some wise words here from Eckert Tolley. |
| 0:57.6 | I love this. He said, sometimes letting things go is an act of far greater power than defending or |
| 1:06.7 | hanging on. And one thing that is very clear, when anxious people are defending, it is often a signal |

| 1:49.7 | Letting go is actually not weakness, it's wisdom. It takes presence and courage and |
| 1:55.5 | trust to be able to release what no longer serves your peace, whether that's an object or whether that is a |
| 2:04.0 | relationship. And if it's an object, is it something that carries the weight of the past or a |
| 2:09.7 | relationship that no longer just aligns with you? You are allowed to choose what supports your |
| 2:15.7 | nervous system now in the here and now. So let this be a |
| 2:21.4 | reminder. You are not obligated to carry what exhausts your soul. Peter Walsh said, |
