Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought
From Dave Tomlinson, writer and vicar at large:听
I always thought the point of a bank holiday was to relax, to have a slow start, maybe indulge in a fry-up, then generally laze around for the day. But on May bank holiday this year, my wife took a different approach 鈥� a clear-out and a visit to the local recycling centre: that was what was needed. Dutifully, I complied. The car was packed to within an inch of its life and we set off 鈥�. only to discover that most other people in the area had the same idea. We ended up in a bank holiday queue of hell for a full hour, waiting to get into the centre. Now, as my wife knows, I鈥檓 not good with queues of traffic at the best of times.听
So, I surely must have earned a month of Brownie points that day for not turning around and heading home. 鈥楩eels great to get shut of it though, doesn鈥檛 it, babe鈥�, Pat triumphantly proclaimed. And actually, science supports her: tests repeatedly show that decluttering reduces stress, increases wellbeing, even improves physical health (although, I did also find a study that said a messy desk can make you more creative 鈥� which I confess I really liked!) When I think about it, a lot of my life as a priest is about helping people to get rid of clutter 鈥� not the sort we take to the rubbish tip, more the kind that gets lodged in the mind and soul and gnaws away at confidence and self-worth. Guilt is by far the most common item of inner clutter I help people to dump.听
Yes, there are certainly times when it is appropriate to sense guilt 鈥� especially when we hurt people or behave as if our needs and feelings are more important than anyone else鈥檚. But as I remind myself: we are only human and it鈥檚 through mistakes and blunders that we learn and grow. The trick, as I see it, lies in acknowledging the blunders, doing whatever we can to rectify them, then moving on. That said, I believe an enormous amount of the guilt we carry isn鈥檛 guilt at all but feelings of not measuring up to the expectations of others 鈥� and that really is pointless clutter to dump, this bank holiday Monday.
