Do you ever feel like once you've committed to a path you're stuck with it forever?
In this episode of Get It Together, Weirdo, Sarah takes us on a metaphorical journey to highlight the fear of the unknown and societal expectations that can make changing course daunting.
What would the Fellowship of the Ring have missed out on if Frodo had refused to let Sam come with him or if Aragorn had insisted on sticking to the original plan no matter what? Only the real transformation that comes from adapting to whatever life’s journey throws your way, according to Sarah.
Tune in for encouragement to practice self-compassion by embracing change and creating your own map.
What you’ll learn in this episode
- The importance of embracing change and creating personal paths in life.
- Recognizing the need for change is a strength, not a weakness.
- Letting go of a path that no longer serves you is an opportunity for growth rather than a failure.
- Practicing self-compassion and setting boundaries are essential to navigate life's changes.
Noteworthy quotes from this episode
“It's okay to change your mind, to change your path, to change your whole damn map if you need to.”
“Recognizing when it's time for a change isn't a sign of weakness. It's a sign of strength. It means that you're in tune with what you need and brave enough to go for it.”
“Life is constantly changing. And if we cling too tightly to our plans, we miss out on the beauty of adaptability. And when things don't go as expected, we have a choice. We can see it as a failure, or we can see it as an opportunity to learn, to grow, and to become flexible.”
