30 - The Goal Of Growth Isn't To Fix You, It's To Empower You

Annaliese and Alan dive into the sometimes frustrating journey of personal growth, inviting you to reflect on your own ups and downs, and see your experiences with new insights. Here's some of what you'll discover as you listen:

Exploring Growth as a Process:
- Reflect on how your personal growth journey is actualyl like you having a toolbox filled with practices you can do daily, and helpful insights to remind yourself of.
- You'll hear how to embrace growth more as a series of practices, insights, and decisions rather than a final destination.

Recognizing the Benefits of Growth:
- Consider how each action you take in pursuit of growth contributes to your overall development and how capable you feel to handle your life.
- You'll gain insight being reminded of the genuine impact of consistent effort throughout and along your journey.

Navigating Frustration:
- The strategy of practicing embracing the slow and repetitive nature of growth is calming and rebalancing.
- Repeating more positive thoughts in response to negative ones helps you reframe setbacks as opportunities so you can develop even further.

Empowering Yourself To Grow:
- Reflect and own that struggling with growth doesn't disqualify you from the progress you've been making. You're already growing!
- Consider the choice you have (always available to you) to adopt a more beneficial perspective towards your own growth journey (not a defeating perspective).

-Practice "Collecting Positive Evidence" Daily:

• "Collect positive evidence" is a tool where you notice and celebrate what's working in your life (instead of staying focused on what's not working).
• Picture it as a tool you can pick up each morning, like grabbing your keys.
• Use it throughout your day, especially during negative moments you notice you're in.
• Make practicing it your goal, allowing yourself to strengthen the muscle and improve over time and not get stuck needing immediate results
