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 Dance of Trust: Embracing Withdrawal and Self-Acceptance
In this personal reflection, I explore how withdrawal can be more than a reaction to overwhelm—it can be an essential act of self-care. Inspired by my rescued dog Anat, I’ve learned that stepping back can create safety and space for growth. Yet, I’ve often judged my own need for retreat as a weakness. This post dives into the process of unlearning self-judgment and embracing patience, trust, and self-compassion, one step at a time.
Why Letting Go Feels Impossible —Until It Isn't
"Die to Live" – a reflection on the cycles of death and rebirth within us. As I sat in my garden, surrounded by the peaceful mountains of Oaxaca, I realized that surrendering to the process of letting go is both terrifying and inevitable. Each time we resist, we hold on to the old, until the pressure becomes too much, and only by surrendering do we find transformation. Just like nature, this cycle repeats itself, teaching us to trust in the process even when it feels most uncertain."
