Step outside your comfort
zone and do something
you fear
Doing something you fear is a huge step in
personal growth! Fear prevents us from truly
living and doing things we desire. So pushing
beyond the fear and accomplishing something you
deemed impossible is a huge confidence boost! It
invokes a sense of empowerment because you
know "If I can do that, I can do anything!" And
maybe you even realize there was nothing to fear
and you can't wait to do it again.
Talk and listen to people
Each one of us is a tiny part of the universe. By
listening to others about their cultures, ideas,
religions, way of life, joys and struggles, our own
knowledge, compassion, and perspectives deepen
and expand. This strengthens our understanding
that we're all more alike than different because at
the core of all people is the desire to feel love, joy,
peace, and happiness.
Go on a Spiritual Retreat
Spiritual Retreat are a perfect way to combine travel
with a specific self-discovery intention through
meditation, journaling, classes, and healing sessions.
Retreat can be for a weekend or over the course of
weeks. Some have specific themes and others are
customized to your needs. You can travel to known
spiritual areas such as India or Machu Picchu or a
nearby city. No matter what you choose, traveling to
a retreat provides the time and space to focus on the
inner self without life's daily distractions and the
chance to explore a new place.
Despite being at different stages and having unique
goals, we're all on some kind of spiritual and
personal adventure, and the key to remember is..
growth is a process that happens gradually. So start
whatever you are at this present moment and move
forward one step at a time. If you travel but not by
yourself, try a solo trip. If you always travel solo, do
something you fear like driving or mountain climbing.
If you've never been outside your own town, visit a
neighbouring city. Simply pick one suggestion that
makes you uncomfortable or reasonates with you and
GO GROW!
