Growth isn’t a lineair process. There are times that feel like accelerated speed. A rollercoaster with turn after turn and no end in sight. And then calmer waters.Sometimes it seems nothing happens in that stillness, but sometimes that’s where most changes happen. Integration, plasticity shifting neural pathways.
I guess we can only really see growth looking back. When we notice we respond and act differently from what we are used to.
Sometimes the change is in big things, more often I notice it in little things. Sending that message where otherwise I hadn’t. Giving myself space and time to do nothing whereas otherwise I may have pushed through. Saying no to an invitation. Not hold back the tears as my friend is holding me.
