I was thinking about seeds today. In order for a seed to become a beautiful blooming flower, like the ones I'm seeing sprout up all around Kansas City as spring arrives, it has to go through a grueling process. It is planted in the ground, in the dark. It has to stay there for quite some time. Then in order for it to grow, it must split open, completely broken apart, completely transformed. That's the only way that it can move on to that next phase of being a beautiful flower. My hubby Micah has something he says to clients when he begins working with them for transformation. He tells them he needs to tear them down to build them back up. This makes me think of the seed. It's what happens when people go through transformation. It's not something to be afraid of, because what's on the other side is a growth and a life of health and freedom. Freedom to bloom and be the best version of you. But for that to happen, the unhealthy habits and mindsets, the negative self talk, these things must be destroyed, completely undone, split in two and turned inside out so that the blossoms can appear. This spring take a look at yourself, are you still a seed that has so much potential to bloom? If so, don't be afraid of being "planted", being "split apart" emotionally and mentally, and transforming into a fit and healthy version of you that you may only imagine is possible. “For a seed to achieve its greatest expression, it must come completely undone. The shell cracks, its insides come out and everything changes. To someone who doesn't understand growth, it would look like complete destruction.” -Cynthia Occelli Thank you for checking out Hitch Fit Living! We welcome your comments and feedback.
