Have you ever found yourself deep in the middle of growth (aka breakthrough, healing, transformation etc.) and you’re dying to share all of your new insights and new perspectives? Then you realize that to properly share it all would take an entire Ted Talk SO do you…

A. Hold the sharing. Sink a little deeper. Stay in the internal experience and allow for a period of integration. Honor the expansion and shifts. You might find an outlet of expression for your experience by journaling or creating something.

OR

B. Go for it. Let it be messy and wordy but follow a desire to bring your internal experience out more into your external world. The dialogues you have spark new insights. You share with others and it moves you like a ping pong on a new trajectory and back into the flow of continued growth but in a slightly different direction.

I asked my hubby which one he thought I would choose. He said “B every single time.” Ha, he knows me so very well.

When I did personal transformation work for 12 years, sharing was often given as homework. My coaches would say that sharing with others was a key component of transformation (growth). How I internalized this coaching along with my tendency to be extroverted has had me value “B” over “A”. Even had me view that by not sharing it you were being kinda selfish. I know I’m totally wacked.

I can get that sharing is caring, but it isn’t required. Your growth as a human being isn’t diminished just because you didn’t share it with everyone. AND… sometimes it is powerful to stay in your internal experience a bit longer. In The last 18 months I chose A more often than choosing my typical B.

I am not sure what your tendency or habit is related to growth – A or B. Either way. Maybe there would be something totally unexpected, new, and potentially more expansive if you tried something new. If you often don’t share, what could sharing provide? If you always share like I have, maybe try sinking in and expressing in a different way?

What does it create for us to try something that feels or seems somewhat uncomfortable to us?

Big love to you intrepid sojourners. May your journey bring the insights you need at the exact moment you need them. May you feel free to be all of who you are Now.
