When I first stepped into the world of personal growth, it felt super fun, and exciting, and I was ready to go after anything!
However, there comes a time when things start to feel hard and uncomfortable on your personal growth journey. Honestly…it just kinda sucks. It would feel MUCH easier to just throw in the towel and simply float through life without a goal or care in the world. While no one ever said this work would be easy (working on ourselves never is after all), it IS worth it.
In today’s episode, I want to dive into 5 reasons why personal growth kinda sucks. Yes, this podcast is totally about the beautiful journey of personal growth and how powerful intentionality is in our lives! But…if you’re struggling right now, and really in the thick of it, you are definitely not alone, because I’ve been there. At the end of the day, being devoted to your personal growth and choosing to be the best version of yourself is something to be proud of, and it WILL pay off tremendously!
In this episode about 5 reasons why personal growth kinda sucks, we cover:
- Confronting parts of your reality and yourself that you have been avoiding
- Becoming more aware of how you want to show up in the world, as well as navigating relationships with the important people in your life
- Learning to get comfortable with the uncomfortable
- What can happen when you take on new opportunities, mindsets, and challenges
- Showing up with intentionality instead of cruising through your life on autopilot, and never feeling truly fulfilled
