We all carry baggage of some sort, especially the emotional kind.  The problem is much of what you are carrying is  hindering you and fouling up your life.

Here’s the deal – when you face life’s challenges you often rely on standard emotional responses such as anger, outrage, guilt, and/or self pity. You may not realize this, but your emotional reactions are old friends. Although these friends may not be good for you – you are comfortable with them. So much so, they automatically pop out when trouble surfaces.

What to do? This bible quotes for you to “purge.” Meaning you need to dump; throw out; get rid of the emotional baggage dragging you down. You can start by paying attention to how you react in unpleasant or troubling situations. Before you find yourself triggering the same old negative response – count to ten. Take a deep breathe and count. Make this a habit to buy yourself a few precious seconds before you react. Once you do this – you provide yourself the opportunity to catch and work towards purging. Bible quotes are packed with wisdom and practical advice. This one is no different. Use this as encouragement to overcome.
