Making the idea of growth enjoyable…
I didn’t use to find growth ‘beautiful’.
Without me realising, my relentless desire to grow was being fuelled by a deep belief in my own inadequacy.
If only I could just do more, be more, achieve more, perhaps my brain would finally be kind to me and say…”well done Sally, you’ve finally reached adequate!”
For me back then, chasing the next way I could grow to ‘be a better person,’ was just a way to avoid my own intense feelings of self-criticism. Not that I’d realised this!
The day my brain could finally be kind to me about who I was never came through simply trying to ‘be better.’
But these days…growth for me really is beautiful. It’s a wonderful source of feeling both purposeful and capable.
So how did I achieve this massive jump in my experience?
I’ve now transformed my life by teaching my brain to genuinely provide me with the emotions I was always chasing…adequacy being a major one.
Now I get to enjoy growth for reasons that serve me - the wonderful learning and development benefits.
Please know that you are already wonderfully adequate too. It really is possible to teach your brain to deliver the emotions you seek and the impact of this is incredible.
Have a great day remembering you’re already enough, then enjoy growth as an additional, more beautiful option.
