Good morning Reader, and welcome to The Morning Bloom! I hope you will take some time to slow down, breathe deeply and enjoy this newsletter. Have a great week and remember to do something kind for yourself and someone else this week. ♥️

Growing Pains

Do you remember when you were a kid and you would wake up in the middle of the night with horrible leg cramps, and your parents said it was just growing pains? Do you remember how uncomfortable it was? How scary it was? I know I do.

It's funny, we assume once we are physically full grown that we won't ever again have to feel the pain and fear that comes with growth. But there is another type of growth that we continue to do in adulthood. A growth that doesn't happen physically (although sometimes it can), but mentally, emotionally, energetically and spiritually.

This growth will happen many times in our life. As our life seasons and roles shift, growth and change are inevitable. And we all know, when things change we get uncomfortable. We worry about the unknown and experience fears, discomfort and pain.

As excited as I am to be rebuilding my offerings, it's also really scary. What if no one wants what I have to offer? What if it doesn't get any better? What if I fail?

Do I like feeling this way? No. But you know what feels worse? Staying in my comfort zone, staying small, staying stuck. I did that all through my 20's. There is nothing worse than knowing that you could feel better, do better, be better and then actively choosing to not go for it.

So, I'm making the tough decision. I'm choosing to be uncomfortable now and walk into the unknown. No matter how things turn out, I will never have to regret not going for it.

When is the last time you experienced growing pains in your life? If its been so long that you can't remember, maybe its times to take a chance and make a change. Go after something you've been dreaming of. Get uncomfortable and feel the pain that comes along with that growth. You will come out on the other side, stronger, happier and more aligned with your true self.
