Happy Motivation Monday!! One of the hardest parts of growing up is realizing that knowing why we are the way we are doesn’t mean we have to stay that way, because so many of our patterns come from what we learned growing up. Sometimes the things we call our “personality” are behaviors we picked up because they once helped us cope, even if they no longer serve us. Growing up is about becoming curious about our patterns and asking, “Do I still need this? Is this helping me become the person I want to be?” We can have compassion for the person we became while still choosing what we want to carry forward, because there is nothing we cannot un-learn. So this week, choose one pattern you’ve been tempted to write off as “just the way I am,” get curious about where you learned it and what purpose it once served, and ask yourself: “Does this still serve the person I’m becoming?” Love, Tish ❤️
