Survival vs Thriving
Added 2023-08-18 20:23:26 +0000 UTCI’ve been in survival mode for two years. As exhausting and depleting as it’s been, one big frustration is the lack of personal growth during this time. The 5 years leading up to these past two were years of rapid growth, “deconstruction,” exploring new ideas, and expanding emotional and mental capacity. So I really see the stark difference in personal growth between survival and calm.
We often judge people for what we perceive as lack of initiative to change and grow when they are very much just trying to survive. Clearing the chaos and meeting the immediate needs comes first.
We can go easy on ourselves and give space for rest whenever possible, because just making it through life right now can sometimes be more than enough to manage.
