The path of personal growth is slow and long. When we choose to invest in our own growth and put ourselves before others, we also begin to understand ourselves better and accept ourselves as we are. Many of us have spent a significant amount of time in childhood and adulthood disagreeing with our own selves, and it’s time to make changes and love ourselves for who we are.
Society sets many standards for us – how we should behave, how we should look and how we should live. This often robs us of happiness and peace of mind and puts us in a rat race we don’t like to run into. Personal growth means realizing where changes need to be made and taking small steps to do so.
Therapist Maria G Sosa wrote: “Often it’s the little cumulative things that add up to the big transformational changes.” Here are some small signs of personal growth that are not small.
No more suffering in silence: We have decided not to suffer in silence anymore. If we are hurt, we talk about it with a person and let them know what hurt us.
1)Reacting and not reacting: We no longer react to things that overwhelm us. Instead, we pause and respond mindfully.
2)Make up your own mind: We don’t join the decisions of others. We make our own decisions and are responsible for them.
3)Awareness: We no longer address procrastination as laziness—instead, we seek to address the discomfort that delays cause.
4)Arguing: Sometimes it’s better not to argue and to be left alone. When someone tries not to understand us, we no longer waste energy trying to understand them.
5)Companionship: One of the main signs of personal growth is loving our own company and solitude and not feeling lonely anymore.
6)Fix: We don’t spend time fixing others. Either we accept them as they are or we move on.
7)Boundaries: When toxicity starts to show, we know how to keep our boundaries high and protect ourselves.
