103 - Growth That Takes You Deeper
Manage episode 515088818 series 3496610
Annaliese and Alan talk about one of the quiet but powerful truths about real growth: sometimes, the best next step isn’t further—it’s deeper. Instead of chasing the next big milestone, deeper growth invites you to slow down, repeat small steps, and let change sink in beneath the surface. It’s about building confidence, wholeness, and strength at your core, not just stacking up achievements.
You’ll Hear About:
- Real, lasting growth happens in layers—formed through aligned choices over time. We only uncover these layers when we slow down and tune in to our state of being, letting growth show us where to nurture the next seed.
- Deeper growth means trusting the process instead of rushing it. It often asks us to stay steady, keep repeating small steps, and persevere even when the results aren’t flashy or fast.
- If your version of “growth” has only meant moving further or achieving more, you might be missing the cues for wisdom, repetition, or deeper surrender to what’s ready for transformation inside you.
Practicing Growth That Takes You Deeper:
- Strengthen your roots. If you’re pursuing growth and feel stuck, plateauing, or spiraling, it might be time to switch from “further” growth to “deeper” growth. Instead of chasing more achievements or knowledge, slow down and tune in to your own experience. Let your growth settle in for your benefit and transformation, not just external results.
- Notice resistance as a cue. If you’re struggling to slow your thoughts, feeling dissatisfied, or telling yourself you “can’t” or “shouldn’t” spend the time it takes to focus, those are signs that you might be withholding permission from yourself. Give yourself space to see that you do get to choose a new, more beneficial way of using your time and attention.
- Lean into repetition and slowness. Deeper growth is meant to be slow, repetitive, and consistent. This rhythm helps you tune in and pay close attention to your inner experience. It brings awareness to the emotions or patterns you might overlook in a rushed growth season and helps you build real clarity and confidence.
- Let deeper growth build wisdom. Wisdom doesn’t come from rushing to the next thing—it grows when we choose to stay, to repeat, and to discern. Deeper growth gives you the space to use your knowledge intentionally, to choose what matters most, and to show up in ways that align with your truest values.
Pro Tip: Regularly give yourself permission to choose how you use your time and energy. Practice letting yourself choose rhythms that support depth and quality, not just speed and quantity.
