- Sometimes what drags us down isn’t a bunch of things in a closet. It’s what’s going on inside us. Feelings and worries can weigh a lot, and the longer you carry them, the heavier they get.

Joshua this was a 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ video. Once when I was a kid, I was holding a grudge against a girl who had been mean to me. My Dad noticed something was wrong and when I told him what was going on and he saw I was holding a grudge he told me that holding a grudge was like letting someone live rent free in my head....
Yes, so true!
THANK YOU FOR THIS WORDS
Thank you for this video ❤️👍🙏🦋

Thank you!
I’m in my 60’s and a quote I found in my 20’s has been in my psyche and a motivational phrase I recall frequently. “ Nothing is so exhausting as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task”. Not even sure the source but I had a sign on my desk for years with that quote. I no longer need the sign.
I’d say that negative self image comes from social comparisons, & a lot of the time, perfectionism. Be grateful with your uniqueness & everything that serves you well.
Joshua I love the way God is using you to help others. Love this!
There are times when you think you know what the problem is... but you just need to hear it from someone else. Just want to say, thank you🙏🏼
I love Jack Kornfield’s 3 way forgiveness: ways I’ve harmed others, ways I’ve harmed myself & ways others have harmed me. Such a relief to release these! Ty ❤
Joshua, Wow! Being a perfectionist & always right are 2 really big ones I struggle with. A few yrs ago, I realized during a conversation with someone that I had to be right. My Hubby pointed it out to me later & that's when I realized it was an issue. I have strived to back down & just keep my mouth shut because at the end of the day, it doesn't really matter. My struggle to be a perfectionist I'm still working on. 🤪
Often it's a need to control that shows up as being right or perfection. Stinks- I'm the same!! I find that it rears its head when my world is out of control in some way. Calling out the unsettle helps me reign it back in.
When looking at others, the need to be right is easy to spot. However, I think it’s harder to spot this detrimental characteristic in one’s own self.
Your messages every week always resonate, this one in particular as I need to let go of the anger I have toward family members who have hurt me so badly, the fact is they don't care, never will and I have to move forward and save myself. Thank you for your Friday videos they help so many people!
I cannot tell you how timely your message came to me. I’ll watch this video many more times to deal with the turmoil I’m going through right now. Thank you Joshua. 🙏
Me..me….me me me. Oh heavens I’ve got some work ahead of Me. Thank you for your wisdom Joshua 🙏🏼
A good episode. Whenever I am bothered by any one of these I pause and ask myself why is this bothering me and what can I do to make it better? Be honest with yourself and others.
Love this!! Thank You!! I’m writing it down and placing it where I’ll see it everyday!!! 👍🏻❤️
Wise words. I know that doing things that I have put off really does remove the clutter in my head. I agree with all the other points too. Thank you.
Thank you, Joshua! I needed this reminder today. I have worked through some of these things, I am making progress on others, and I do feel more freedom and peace. God bless you and your family!
Thank you Joshua. I’ve recently moved internationally and even though I thought I minimalised down, I received my shipment and realised I don’t need even half now. Thank you for your reminders here and this is part of minimalising too…our mind, heart and soul. Great points and they helped remind me I have more work to do. Love this and thanks for this video. It helped all who watch.
Just found your channel....Perfectionism....a tough one with adhd/ptsd issues...but worth the battle. Thanks and subscribed.
Wow. Thank you for this message. I really needed to hear these! Sometimes, I feel like there is more to my simplifying/decluttering journey than just physical stuff - I think this video covers it.
Thank you for sharing this video 💛 I feel like letting go of these things feels so much lighter than any physical decluttering! ☺️
Sometimes I have struggled in my life feeling like I am not heard by others and that is where perfectionism and needing to be right was important to be. I'm working on being better by not letting that beat up my ego
WOW! What a great video for this week! I definitely resonated with a few of the things you mentioned, but I have been working on bettering myself for so long. I have made some great progress and fee proud of that and feel like a better person over all, although I strive to be better every day, it's work , but worth it! I'm so glad you are on You Tube as i have stopped using Facebook , I was following your page on Facebook, but left Facebook , it just became such an unbearable place to be for me. So I look forward to the weekly videos here on You Tube!
Joshua, I can always depend on you to produce a much needed video. I reckon that a large number of people will benefit from this one. Thanks.
Wow-you just nailed all the reasons I am so unhappy and dissatified I am with my life. Thank you for providing light and hope to all of us who battle with these feelings. May God bless you as richly as you have blessed us. ❤
Glad it was helpful to you. Thank you for watching and sharing.
Powerful!! This message will free a lot of people!!
I look forward to these thoughts each week, thank you.
Great video. I struggle with most of these. No wonder I'm exhausted all the time! Thank you for sharing.
This is powerful! I need to work on several of these things. Perfection & procrastination especially.
Thanks a lot for this week’s vlog Joshua. All of the 15 things you mentioned indeed weigh down on us. I feel like I will view this over and over again. It’s like I am in a spiritual deepening retreat. 🙏 May God continue to bless you as you bless others. 🙏
Thank you! I was looking forward to your post today, and it was powerful!
Thank you so much dear Joshua for this powerful message. It is so true and a beautiful reminder to look beyond the stuff. Living peacefully with ourselves, our neighbours and our belongings, I think that’s what most of us truly desire.
What a beautiful list and a life-changing strategy. Thank you Joshua!
Good advice as always! Thanks for the light you shed on so many things!
An uplifting morning prayer (here in Switzerland) and a beautifully broadening conception of minimalism
Excellent message today! Broken down and highlighted without “preaching at” and it all ade so much sense.
Indeed! I always cling to our Dear God to clear my busy mind & the best is lift everything to HIM, he never fails:) Thank you for this wonderful message!
Wise, as usual. I most appreciated the solution to jealousy about focusing our energies on what we already have. I don't see myself as jealous, usually, but when you said that, I realized I have areas of coveting that I need to address. And the unresolved conflict? Prayers for wisdom, courage, and God-led opportunity are appreciated. Thanks, as always!
Thank you so much for your inspirational videos Joshua. This video hits the nail on the head. I often watch & listen to you & often times on repeat bc it resonates so much with my life. Sometimes all the unnecessary distractions keep us from focusing on what really matters the most in life.
Needed this video today. Thank you for sharing these 15 weigh-down things. ❤your vlogs
Thank you, a great video. I will rewatch this one again for sure. I love the succinctness of the descriptions ... simple but effective.
Timely message Joshua, thank you for this!
You always have good, common sense advice. Thank you
Great video! Lots of things to let go of, but communicated in a peaceful, encouraging way. Thanks!
One request: could you turn your audio up louder in your videos? Thanks!
Thank you so much for this video. Some of these definitely resonate with me, and I am inspired to lessen the burden moving forward!
Your videos always are timed perfectly with certain situations of my life. Thank you!
Love Your Teachings !!!❤
You are very kind, thank you.

Thank you! I will be listening to this again!
WOW - you hit the nail on every item. Thanks.
Thank you! I needed every one of these.
Wow. Life has just felt so heavy lately. It's hard to put one foot in front of the other to make headway in any direction. Although the big situational things aren't even in this list, having a few of the things I have carried for decades pointed out makes it logical that when the big stuff was piled on top, I feel immobilized. Thank you as always, Joshua, for illuminating what is right in front of us and shining a light on the pathway out.
Merci Joshua 🙏🏻, chacune de vos vidéos est un rayon de soleil dans ma semaine.
Great list! Thank you for sharing this video.

I love this video! The content is meaningful and yet said simply. I find most them are complex subjects to tackle. Thank you, Joshua!
