Notes to Grow
Welcome to Notes to Grow – a personal growth blog where I share raw, authentic reflections on mental health, emotional healing, and the journey to living authentically.
These entries capture my current state of consciousness as I make sense of my feelings and perceptions, continuing to grow with each reflection.
Each post is personal and raw—some may resonate, while others may challenge. Use what inspires you and let go of the rest.
At its heart, this blog is my space to explore, feel, and connect with my true self. If you're seeking insights into personal development and self-reflection, you’re in the right place.
This is the purpose of this blog.
The Art of Surrender: Healing Without Effort
Sometimes, healing comes not from the relentless effort to fix ourselves, but from the quiet act of surrender. In a dream that kept visiting me, I found a rare moment of clarity and deep relaxation, something I struggle to grasp during the busyness of life. Through an encounter with butterflies in nature, I realized that true healing doesn't happen by controlling or protecting ourselves—it happens when we open up to the wounds we've tried to avoid.
For years, I had built an identity to shield myself from pain, believing that was the only way to stay safe. But in turning toward the very wounds I’d been running from, I discovered comfort and a sense of healing I didn’t expect. It wasn’t about doing more or trying harder. It was about trusting that healing was already happening within me, if I only allowed myself to receive it.
