The Power in Choosing Not to Carry It All

Krista Franks

Last Friday, I guided hundreds of women through a grounding visualization at the Fill Your Cup event. Something we do each week here in these emails.

The imagery was simple:

Imagine each of your responsibilities as grocery bags you’re carrying. Not one at a time, but all at once—arms aching, fingers strained.

Then, visualize yourself setting them down—just for the day.

The reactions were powerful.

One woman shared her deep gratitude for just ten minutes of restful peace (she also shared she has five kids).

Another woman at my table said something that’s stuck with me since:

“I didn’t want to put the bags down… because I knew I’d have to pick them back up.”

 

The whole table nodded.

I responded curiously:

“Maybe we don’t have to pick all of them back up?”

More nodding.

In today's member email, we're exploring the art of knowing what to put down. And more importantly, how and when to let go.
