Day 10 of 365 new ways to a new you. Congratulations, you have made it this far. Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Are you ready for tomorrow? This is part of a series that is going to span 365 days. Some things will be subtle other activities will be more involved. At the end of the 365 days even if you do only 20 of these things you will be a new person, for better or for worse.

Before I begin with day ten, I must defer you to our Terms and Conditions .

Part of life is separation. It is quite probable that as time passes one forgets about the mortality and temperance of everything. We leave this world with what we brought in to it.

Day 10: Throw Something Out
Find something that you hold important to you. A trinket, ring, decoration, something you couldn’t imagine living without. Take it and throw it out, or give it away.

You don’t need it anymore now let go. We accumulate so much stuff in out lives that much of it we just don’t need. In fact most of it is just a comforting distraction. By throwing out something dear to you one will if but for a moment realize the pain in life and the temporary nature of all things. How else shall we ascend if we cling so desperately to that which holds us here?
