I've always loved a good "emotional purge" of listing things to let go of. What I love even more about this take on it is that a candle is (relatively) slow to burn, which in a sense helps remind us to not be discouraged if we slip back into old behaviors or thought patters. Rewiring our brains and how we relate to the world is surprisingly quick, but it still takes some time. The time that it takes a candle to melt down (assuming you light it consistently) feels like it's a good match to that process.

Thank you. I couldn't agree more!
