growth can look like…

Shout out to recognizing our own toxic traits and trying our best to unlearn ’em. It’s never too late for a new beginning in your life. Each day represents a new beginning. Everyday we are given a day to become! So just begin and watch what can grow.

growth can look like…
asking for help

worrying less + dreaming more, owning your mistakes, not letting your happiness depend on others, setting boundaries, facing your fears, prioritizing your well-being, forgiving yourself, embracing change

letting go is only hard because the mind is remaining rigid with meaning. The mind creates stories about WHY you should hang on…to a person, a limiting belief, the outcome etc. Letting go is easy when you realize it’s just a story…and stories can be changed OR let go of…

Start each day with – This is going to be the best day of my life!

I deserve the love I desire.
This is my body & my brain & my time on earth & I am in charge of it.
I am responsible for it.
“THIS IS MINE”

Stay in the present.
Maybe, tell your physical mind that “we need to let go, because the past doesn’t exist any longer, let’s live in the present where it matters”.
Limerance is like depression.
What Is Limerence? Limerence is a state of infatuation or obsession with another person that involves an all-consuming passion and intrusive thoughts.
“It is often a result of not being present either through trauma or certain childhood development issues,” explains psychosexual therapist Cate Mackenzie
While signs may often be there from very early on in a relationship, It often takes quite a long time to allow ourselves to see someone for who they really are but, it’s the person we want to see them as, whom we remain blindly limerant for.
Romantic obsession fades when childhood trauma is faced.
Limerance can be exacerbated by actively being in a relationship where needs aren’t being met.
You can be starved of intimacy, affection, and love.
It’s a defence mechanism, a faulty one but we can do repairs.
You can create a character of them in your mind that isn’t even real!

I read stories and watched movies with the Disney princesses finding their prince and stories of idealized love, heard endless streams of love songs on the radio, and heard teenagers around me talking about going on dates and older girls planning their wedding. It all set me up. It is like a curse a love for something you can never have.

But we can grow and heal and move on.
Better is on its way.
Sending so much love and support, stay strong and one foot in front of the other.

Success is not final; failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.
W. Churchill

Sage words by Churchill unfold what the growth mindset is all about: seeing opportunities instead of obstacles.
That means seeing failure as a chance to develop your abilities further, instead of rolling into your cocoon and hiding from the world.

Let your mind start a journey through a strange new world.
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before.
Let your soul take you where you long to be…
Close your eyes let your spirit start to soar, and you’ll live as you’ve never lived before.
Erich Fromm

WHAT IS FIXED MINDSET?	WHAT IS GROWTH MINDSET?
Intelligence is static	Intelligence can be developed
“I desire to look smart”	“I desire to learn new stuff”
Avoids challenges	Embraces challenges
Gives up easily	Persists even when it’s hard
Ignores constructive negative feedback	Sees criticism as a chance to learn
Sees the success of others as a threat	Sees the success of others as inspiration
“Failure is the limit of my abilities”	“Failure is an opportunity to grow”
Deterministic worldview	Sense of free will
“Efforts are fruitless, I can achieve what I can achieve”	“Efforts are a path to mastery”
Reaches the plateau early in life and achieves less than they’re capable of	Has higher levels of achievement

Now that we’re clear about what growth mindset actually is, let’s move to the next important question: how to achieve it.

Sometimes the longest journey we make is the sixteen inches from our heads to our hearts.
Elena Avila

The first step out from the fixed mindset is believing that you can step out of it and that growth mindset is possible to achieve.

Life is an opportunity, seize the day, live each day to the fullest. Life is not a project, but a journey to be enjoyed.
Catherine Pulsifer

So, ask your gut. What does it say?

Are you ready to take some steps towards a more open attitude in life?
Are you ready to even fail sometimes, and take responsibility for it, by accepting failure as a challenge and opportunity, instead of bowing down before it has even happened?
In order to help you elevate your state of being and achieve a growth mindset, we’ve prepared this thorough list of advice.
We hope it will serve you well!

“Wow! What a Ride!

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow!

“For everything in this journey of life we are on,
there is a right wing and a left wing:
for the wing of love there is anger;
for the wing of destiny there is fear;
for the wing of pain there is healing;
for the wing of hurt there is forgiveness;
for the wing of pride there is humility;
for the wing of giving there is taking;
for the wing of tears there is joy;
for the wing of rejection there is acceptance;
for the wing of judgment there is grace;
for the wing of honour there is shame;
for the wing of letting go there is the wing of keeping.
We can only fly with two wings and two wings can only stay in the air if there is a balance.
Two beautiful wings is perfection.
There is a generation of people who idealize perfection as the existence of only one of these wings every time.
But I see that a bird with one wing is imperfect.
An angel with one wing is imperfect.
A butterfly with one wing is dead.
So this generation of people strive to always cut off the other wing in the hopes of embodying their ideal of perfection, and in doing so, have created a crippled race.”
C. JoyBell C.

Happiness is like a butterfly:
the more you chase it,
the more it will elude you,
but if you turn your attention to other things,
it will come and sit softly on your shoulder.

The Aptitude to fly
