Growth isn't linear, it isn't pretty, and we can agree that it's exhausting. Today's reflection encourages us to recognize progress when it doesn't come with a number or a trophy.
Wow. This absolutely resonated with me. So many themes that I am also exploring. Thanks for opening up and taking the time to explore this. Focusing on the productivity is a hard habit to break. I am trying to learn to focus on the feelings I want to feel to stop myself from constantly moving the goal post.
I totally understand! Especially if you’re neurodivergent (sorry to assume I was just reading your post about it and resonated with it since my husband is one!). But this whole addicted to growth society is burning us all up. We need to be okay to slow down. And I’ve read SO many great articles in here that talks about it! So I’m glad you resonated 💙
I absolutely am, specifically ADHD, my hubby has his stuff too :) I keep falling in the trap of setting new goals, challenges, productivity measures for myself. You worded it so well here. My post today was totally on this topic if you want to check it out. I think we are really thinking about a lot of the same topics because I wasn’t sure if I was replying to a convo on your page or mine at first!
I resonate so much with this. In 2022 I made more money than I even hoped I’d ever earn in my life time. Enough to retire , to have generations after me retire. Yet I felt empty . Only when I truly found my calling in things that are meaningful to me I found joy 🧡
Thank you for sharing this, Alina. Your honesty resonates us who’ve chased growth only to realize it doesn’t necessarily translate into meaning. Many people are feeling this same tension quietly and the culture won’t change unless we’re willing to ask ourselves the harder questions. Grateful you added your voice here 🙏🏼💙

Thanks. I save so many posts so I can enjoy them in down time.
