To walk life with  emotional, mental and physical baggage is always difficult. The way it weighs you down whilst you act in your day to day life and the way it troubles your sleep at night becomes a difficult challenge to overcome. To accept and tune into your actions is a way of dealing with these problems but at the end of the day baggage is real and everyone has their own. In the end it is always easier if you have someone to help you carry it, and that relationship you build is tested by it, but once you can trust a person to handle everything else that comes with you, you know that life is going to get much easier.

I found that focusing myself on the remedial things is what actually helps in terms of physical proactivity. The emotions that waver in an out are usually a result of you dwelling and stopping for too long and thinking too much. Diverting your focus on other things, especially tasks that test you physically and mentally are the go to especially when your dealing with your baggage by yourself. Sometimes all it takes is something as simple as preparing a meal or reading a book to help you forget and sometimes deal with whatever is bogging you down. I guess thats why a lot of people focus on work and the gym when they go through tough periods in their lives. For me its always been my writing. Many of you may know but many may not (and by many I mean the few that will actually read this), that writing helps me form thoughts and feelings and allows me to deal with my own problems. But the one thing that I have noticed is the freedom it gives me. I can express what I want, when I want to. And even though it may seem cliche’, that sense of being untangled and unburdened usually comes from some sort of activity or train of thought. I experience freedom everyday when I workout and every other day when I write one of these.

The baggage that I have to deal with is dense and acidic. It bothers me to my core and if I don’t deal with it I flip out and end up getting myself hurt, because it is real, as  it is for everyone else. But the simple strokes of movement that are able to take you away are what keeps the mind in tact and free.Some sort of movement is necessary and finding what puts you at ease can sometimes be the difference between surviving or succumbing to your troubles. To walk in freedom of movement is to achieve freedom in the mind and it in turn allows you to focus on victory and then as a result you are able to reap the benefits.
