Starting Your Journey of Growth and Healing from Within
Only YOU can give yourself permission to grow and heal. —
Leslie Avant-Brown
As a coach, clients often ask me how to begin their journey of growth and healing. My response is always the same— it starts with allowing yourself to take the first step.
This means giving yourself permission to be open to the experience of evolving and healing, which can be a difficult process. However, this permission allows you to discover new possibilities, see yourself more fully, and acknowledge areas where you have been hurt.
Once you have given yourself permission to take that first step towards growth and healing, the next important thing is to be patient with yourself. Remember that healing is a process, and it takes time. There will be ups and downs, and it's important to be kind to yourself during those moments of struggle.
Celebrate your victories, no matter how small they may seem, and be gentle with yourself during setbacks.
Here are a few steps to support you in giving yourself permission to start your journey of growth and healing from within.
Acknowledge your pain and struggles. Recognize the areas in your life where you feel stuck or hurt.
Allow yourself to feel your emotions. It's okay to feel sad, angry, or frustrated. These emotions are a natural part of the healing process, and it's important to give yourself space to process them.
Let go of self-judgment. It's easy to be hard on yourself when you're going through a difficult time. But remember, you're doing the best you can, and it's important to be kind to yourself.
Surround yourself with supportive people. Seek out friends, family members, or a Coach who can support you on your journey of healing.
Take care of yourself. Focus on self-care activities, such as exercise, meditation, or spending time in nature. These activities can help you feel more grounded and centered as you navigate the healing process.
Remember, giving yourself permission to begin the journey of growth and healing is the first step towards a happier, healthier life.
With patience, self-compassion, and support, you can overcome your struggles and discover new possibilities for yourself.
