"Refreshing" Your Self-Growth

A Journey of Self-Growth - How Divorce Helped Me Find Myself by Kate

Practice Exercise

Decide on a scale of 1 to 10 just how important a certain self-growth issue is for you. Give it a number - 10 meaning really important, 1 meaning not important at all.

Then softly close your eyes and imagine what it would feel like to be completely FREE of whatever is holding you back. Take your time and SOAK it in. Keep the value number in the front of your mind, and step into living that life of freedom. When the BUTs come in, that is decision time...are you "Interested" or are you "Committed"? The 'buts' come from the mind; the courage comes from our hearts.

"Refreshing" Your Self Growth

"If we do what we've always done, we will be what we've always been." - Said by a "smart person!" Beverley Pugh

Welcome to 2015! There are certain times of the year that invite reflection. This is one.

I offer you these thoughts for this coming year: when it comes to your relationship with your self-growth...are you COMMITTED or are you INTERESTED? What a big difference there is between them. I know that because I have been there.

What do I mean when I say "Committed" or "Interested"? One is a slow boat, and usually there are more ups and downs and suffering. This is "Interested". The other can be like giving birth, but it is more direct and it is faster. This is "Committed". Both involve moving forward. Where are you? Read More

A Journey of Self-Growth - How Divorce Helped Me Find Myself

Two years ago I left my husband. Well, to be precise, I told him it wasn't going to work and that he needed to move out. There are a lot of reasons for this decision. Funnily enough, when I told him he quickly agreed with me. I guess we were both feeling unhappy for a long time, it just took me to finally act on it for things to change.

You see, I had come to a place where I knew that I had gotten married for all the wrong reasons. I married him for the life that I thought I wanted. You know the one - house, car, kids, dog - in other words, I was trying to live the "dream". The problem was that I was trying to fit myself and my husband into this so called "dream life", that in reality wasn't really what either of us wanted. We felt smothered, and spent more time arguing then we ever did getting along. So I did the only thing that made sense to me; I left him. Read More

Keep Growing and Enjoy! All the best for this year.
