Perhaps you or your kids experienced growing pains, well it is the same with us as adults when we experience personal growth, it can feel a bit uncomfortable…ok sometimes very uncomfortable, even painful but just as children grow up and the feelings pass, so it is for us too.
This really is the space in between stages of our growth and it can be a really uncertain time before the change is truly anchored in our minds and bodies, a part of how we function. How we respond to the discomfort during the transition is critical.
So, if are you going through any personal growth, leveling up, learning or new awareness – please keep the internal dialogue kind and supportive: I am experiencing a change and it will take me some time to feel comfortable again. This is ok. I am ok. The feelings will pass. Most importantly be extra patient with your mind and body to catch up to the new level. Give yourself time and space to process the change. It is 100% normal to revert back to old habits during this time. This doesn’t make us wrong, it makes us human, real live human beings. Thank goodness, for that 😉
And lastly celebrate if you are having growing pains, because it means you are alive, learning, growing and becoming your future self, I wouldn’t want it any other way, how about you?
Love always
