I hope you have a great week. Here is a quick model that I hope helps you shape your week. You choose the path and how many self-imposed barriers you allow to slow you down. Openness - versus defensiveness - enables us to fully trust in ourselves because we take in the world fully and can respond flexibly. When we carry a lot of mental garbage, we rely more on history that might not be relevant for today, inflexible mental models, manic mantras, and motivational posters to guide us. Why do we need to list our values? Answer: Because we are not open enough to fully trust ourselves.

This is so true about mental garbage. Therefore, it's such a blessing to "take out the mental trash" and be done with it. The negative internal chatter can really impede our progress.
I have heard that with human emotions basically there is only love and fear. And getting rid of the mental garbage allows the love, joy, happiness, belief, etc. to shine through.

Totally agree. Whats you approach to get ride of this mental garbage?

Mental garbage is such a great expression. So simple and profound at the same time. You probably need one more box about sub-conscious garbage... the stuff that holds us back that we are not mentally conscious of yet is there nonetheless. They are still accessible but through other means.
