“If you are unhappy with anything…Whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it. Because you’ll find that when you’re free, your true creativity, your true self comes out.” 

Holding on to the things that make us unhappy can often happen at a subconscious level. This quote, from Tina Turner, reminds us to get rid of the things that bring us down. When we can get rid of those things, a weight is lifted. Our true creativity comes out and so does our true self. But the first and most difficult step is to recognize what those things are. It requires us to develop a heightened awareness of our emotions and how different things affect them.
