EVERYBODY starts somewhere.
EVERYBODY starts somewhere.
#MotivationMonday brought to you by these seedlings. These guys have been making INconsistent progress since we planted them. For a while, it seemed like NOTHING was happening. Then one morning, when we walked in, I actually gasped and jumped because they popped up out of nowhere, almost 6 inches tall, OVERNIGHT.
(This is one of the downsides to a photographic memory 🤣 slight changes feel like a wallop across the head. Yes, SUPER helpful in patient care!)
Since then, they've pretty much stayed as is... For over a month?
Things these little guys are teaching us today:
- Oftentimes, we can't see our own progress
- Sometimes, we feel stuck, when really we're winding up for sudden growth/ improvement
- Occasionally, we're still wearing 'little hats' that distort our view of where we are, making us think we haven't achieved much
- There are SO many variables to each situation, which means MANY opportunities to effect a change: water, light, food, soil type, pot size, placement in room, temperature, humidity, air circulation, distance of each seed from the next...
In humans, these opportunities manifest in:
- Strength
- Mobility
- Flexibility
- Body awareness and control
- Job
- Lifestyle
- Stress
- Mindset
- Nutrition
- Sleep
- EACH body part and the role it plays in helping its neighbour (maybe it's doing too much work or too little work...)
- Many, many more variables, dependant on the individual
The more variables we can identify, the greater opportunity there is for improvement.
And, of course, EVERYBODY starts SOMEWHERE in this process. 💛💚💙
