I haven’t achieved anything in the past 10 years…

Escape Diet Prison by Anne-Sophie Reinhardt

Ever felt like you’re not moving forward in life? If you've ever caught yourself thinking, "Has anything changed for me in the past weeks/ months/ years/ decades?" you're not alone. It's a belief many share, including myself, and today, I delved deep into this topic. In this episode, we will unpack this theme and uncover why this belief is not just holding you back but is honestly... impossible! In today's episode Understanding Visible vs. Invisible Growth We often look for tangible markers of our progress: promotions, accolades, and huge life events. But what about our resilience, emotional growth, or shifts in perspective? Much like the tree whose growth isn't just in its branches but also its roots, our growth isn't just in the things others can see - far from it. Both tangible and intangible growth play a crucial role in our journey. It's important to recognize and value both. Reframe Your Perception of Progress We can see how we've evolved by comparing ourselves from a decade ago to now in a loving, gentle, and uplifting way. This is not about tearing ourselves down, quite the opposite. The thing is, Progress does not just happen in major life events but in our reactions, values, and worldviews. Even if the last years felt stagnant in monumental achievements, you've grown in countless other ways. Challenge the 'Stagnation Mindset' Believing in stagnation is a huge mind-f**k. If you feel you haven't grown or changed, you might shy away from new experiences, leading to real stagnation. Recognizing your growth, no matter how subtle, will give you the kick in the butt you might need to do what you dream of. Today, take some time to question any feelings of stagnancy and begin to recognize that even the smallest progress means you are moving forward. So, stagnation IS impossible. Embrace and Celebrate Your Journey Always waiting for the next big thing can rob you of the joy of the present. Much like how I've been too focused on significant growth in the past, it's crucial to relish the journey and value each small step and lesson. Recognize and cherish your growth journey, celebrating every lesson and milestone, big or small. Our perspective on our personal growth journey makes a world of difference. Recognize, celebrate, and embrace your progress - visible and invisible. Don't just focus on the end goal; every step is part of your unique story.
