A powerful quote 🌄Speaking from experience the path of growth can feel uncertain, scary, unknown 🌄It’s easier to do what’s comfortable, even if it feels miserable, even if we know we can be so much more 🌄If you’re like a lot of us it can be a back and forth process, maybe even a rubber band effect (note: some people thrive off risk and huge steps out of their comfort zone, that’s not me) 🌄Stretch too far too quick and BOING! You can hate it and recoil right back into the comfort zone 🌄We need to stretch enough to challenge ourselves a little but not so much that we overwhelm or flood our nervous system with unsafety and threat 🌄Just enough to have a positive experience, build confidence so we can move forward in steady steps. That’s progress. 🌄Ok, ‘it’s not always like that’, I hear you say, we still don’t always have a positive experience ☹. 🌄HOWEVER… knowing that we are living a bigger life, one that is moving us (or trying to move us) in the direction of what we value, towards goals, dreams and more fulfilment ; that IS empowering and hope-giving. 🌄We need direction and purpose, as much as we need air! 🌄So, we are allowed to have off-days, we are allowed to have down time, healing time and comfy days, but let’s not give up on growth, whatever that looks like for us 😊 #growthzone #stretchzone #lifedirection #lifepurpose #goalsetting #progressivelife #progressnotperfection #yoga #mindfulness #meditation #yogaheals #softstrengthyogaandwellness #softstrengthpainyogacoach #chronicillness #chronicpain #selfcare #selfconnection https://www.instagram.com/p/CDJVZ1MgTh1/?igshid=55au0wj063c0
