We’re Stuck, Addicted to Healing and Personal Development — Now What?
Healing to Grow, and Not as an End in Itself
What do you want? What direction do you want your life to take? What aspect of your life would you like to improve now?
If we look deep into what we want but don’t have, we find big learnings in our resistances, blockages, and limitations. Our visions and dreams that never seem to come true, and are for years stagnant in our lives, show us where we are not taking aligned actions, in our best interest.
That project we talk about for years but never get started can show our self-limiting thoughts, our fears, our self-doubts, and our lack of self-acceptance and self-worth. It shows us what to heal, so we can grow.
At the same time, working with spirituality and personal development, I see many people addicted to healing, constantly telling themselves “I need to be more this or that”.
And just like that, healing and personal development become this huge escape from taking action in life: we are forever healing. Let me just go to that course, to that retreat, to that weekend getaway, and try that therapy. More self-love, more affirmations, and more meditations make healing an entertaining hobby.
