Growing up. We commonly refer to those words when we think of or describe kids or our younger selves. What happens to that as we get older? Sometimes it feels as though our responsibilities might seem to be the only thing that keep growing. Recently, as in pandemic recently, many are focusing on the stress and trauma we ALL have experienced. Yet there is growth too, we just need to pause, reflect and build upon it. Consider one or all of the following as growth areas and or opportunities to build upon:
-Self-awareness – we may have recently learned to better identify and communicate what we need, want and deserve to be able to flourish. -Social satisfaction – we may have recently realized that less is more, listening is meaningful and saying no is ok when it comes to our social interactions and options. -Style – we may have found that comfort is king and that when we are comfortable, we can still contribute in an abundantly productive fashion. -Strength – we have always had it, but we may have found that we had more of it than we realized and can tap into it sooner and more easily. -Silliness – we may have felt that we shed more tears than laughs since March 2020, but our sillier selves may have recently begun to show themselves to a wider audience. -Satiation – we may have gained a better understanding when we have had enough, (work, Zoom, partners, kids, technology, alcohol, etc.), and learned how to begin to be within our own boundaries. -Stickyness – we may have identified that we are content in the place we are, be it our home, our jobs, our routines and we may have also discovered a few new areas that we will happily dwell in. -Solutions (vs. Problems) – we may have shifted our approach to be more solution oriented, rather than only focusing on the problem – it was and can continue to be a positive state of action and mindset to reside. We are all different, but we all have endured, evolved and engaged in ways that have nudged us all towards growth.
