Do you really need personal development?
- 02 September 2024
You know you need to slow down and reconnect to the YOU that kicks ass.
Do you really need personal development when you feel like you’ve “lost yourself”?
It’s no good reading and “liking” motivational quotes.
Your super holiday is gone and forgotten now.
(Until the next one. Oh god, make it come soon!)
Your foolproof morning routine is thrown out the window as soon as you start work.
As a placebo to numb a pain that is becoming more and more physical?
The pain of running away from yourself CONSTANTLY with the lie that that’s the only/best way to get the results you need.
The pain of screwing up your health (your exercise routine is nail polish on the broken nails of your constant stress, anxiety, depression or panic attacks) in the name of productivity.
The pain of feeling like your joy is a soggy leaf on the ground, constantly trampled on.
Reading this post or consuming more health, business and personal development books like popcorn won’t do it (The salt just makes you thirsty anyway :D).
You know you need to slow down and reconnect to the YOU that kicks ass.
You need to find yourself. To rediscover the depths of that you, to feel fully you and alive again.
But in the day-to-day, “personal development” becomes about copying what others state you should do…
“I can’t stop!”
You might not have a choice if a health issue suddenly forces you to.
What if you chose now to create a space away from your washing machine experience of your life between holidays?
Somewhere you can explore who you really are beyond all the noise?
A holiday will rarely do that for you in any lasting way. Even with all the sun, sea, tapas and sangria in the world.
But there are some retreat spaces that do.
(Not many. Most are about practicing yoga, meditation, detoxing or giving you health advice. All additive.
All more noise in head).
At Reconnect we give you a subtractive experience. Calm all noise in head and explore who you really are.
This is a real first step towards reconnecting with yourself.
All the fast food of personal development advice is unlikely to ever give you that.
You can create that space yourself if you’re truly willing to step away and inquire within.
You can step off the addictive merry-go-round of your repetitive thinking and feel into this question: “Who/what am I?”
Though maybe you’re afraid to do that or you’ve tried and drawn a blank…
It’s almost impossible when you’re convinced that the hamster wheel is relentless.
