We’re almost a full week into the new decade.

It’s 2020.

We know this.

But what year (or decade) are we actually living in?

Are you living an outdated identity?

I was thinking about this over the weekend when I saw my “swim supplies” box at the top of the bedroom closet.

Why do I have a whole box dedicated to swim supplies? you ask.

“Because,” I indignantly reply, “I am a swimmer. I play water polo.”

But, am I?

I haven’t played water polo since my freshman year in college (1990). And I haven’t swam competitively since… oh my… 2005.

That’s like 15 years!

Why do I still have an entire box in my closet with the following…?

• five (5) swim suits (4 training bikinis & a one-piece for swim meets),

• four (4) latex swim caps (you never know when one will rip),

• three (3) pair of goggles,

• two (2) very-stale jars of Aveda Brilliant humectant pomade (to protect hair from chlorinated water), and

• one (1) bottle of UltraSwim chlorine removal shampoo (which surprisingly smelled the same after all these years—What kind of chemicals are in that?).

My point is:

I still identify as a swimmer.

So of course, I think I “need” all these competitive swimming supplies!

Never mind that I haven’t been in chlorinated water in two years.

Or, that I went to the ocean only twice last summer.
Or was it just once?

Somewhere in my brain, there is a neural pathway on default that still thinks I swim, that I play water polo, and that I need ALL THESE THINGS TO SURVIVE.

I don’t need any of it — maybe one bikini and a pair of goggles.

How ‘bout you?

• Are you holding on to old work suits (even though you’ve been retired for 10 years)?

• Do you still have 3 pair of prescription eyeglasses (even though you had laser eye surgery)?

• Or, do you still have all the furniture from your 4-bedroom home (even though you down-sized to a 2-bedroom)?
  

Are you clinging to an outdated identity?

What exactly are you holding onto that no longer has a place in your current life?

And, are you ready to let go?
