Facing Difficulties with Curiosity (And Spray Foam!)
Life is beautiful…
But that doesn’t mean things are always hunky-dory.
Life is full of twists and turns and unexpected changes…
Some of which can lead to new and exciting opportunities…
While others can challenge our understanding of what it means to live well.
We tend to imagine growth as quick, painless, and obvious to others…
But most growth is subtle and can be much more challenging than we like to admit.
In fact, most growth looks a lot like sitting with the discomfort that change brings…
Embracing curiosity…
And allowing ourselves to step directly into the unknown.
Allow Time to Adjust
Venturing somewhere we’ve never been before can be scary…
And it requires both time and resilience…
But it can also teach us more than anything else can about ourselves and how we relate to the world.
In a society where time is monetized and our self-worth is often tied to our production levels, it’s hard to take the rest we need—even after life-changing events.
But when we need rest, we need rest!
We can’t ignore that and expect to thrive for long.
We can try, of course…
But eventually, the consequences of doing so will catch up with us.
Instead, if we leave judgment behind…
Sit with the needs of the moment…
And allow ourselves space to heal…
We can learn to navigate life’s difficult transitions better…
And usher in simpler times!
Release Judgement & Control
When we don’t judge ourselves for needing more time to finish a project…
Or learn a new technique or routine…
Or heal from a traumatic incident…
We can learn our lessons more completely and heal more fully.
Because when it’s all said and done…
Everything takes the time it takes.
That’s all there is to it.
We can try to push or force our way through life’s circumstances…
But that can lead to even more discomfort than necessary.
If we choose, instead, to relax our proverbial grip on the reins…
Breathe our way through change…
And embrace curiosity, even through uncomfortable transitions…
We can learn to navigate the unknown with more ease.
Get to Know the Unknown—Embrace Curiosity
The funny thing about “The Unknown” is that it doesn’t stay unknown for long.
Sure, transitions can be difficult…
And healing takes the time it takes.
But adjusting to a “new normal” happens whether we realize it or not.
We humans are constantly on the lookout for consistency and structure…
And we can find peace in routine, even if circumstances are turbulent.
We can also find meaning in our daily life by embracing curiosity…
And when we approach each day with curiosity, we’re more likely to see things for what they are, rather than what we wish them to be.
That’s the beginning of healing.
That’s getting to know The Unknown.
Curiosity helps us find new ways to show up for ourselves and our loved ones…
Observe life’s cycles…
And reconnect with awe.
Awe is awesome!
It can make us feel more alive…
And help us get out of our heads and back into the real world.
Anything can inspire awe…
A flower…
Or a sunset…
Or a moose…
Or a rock!
But it all starts with embracing curiosity…
Understanding that almost nothing is as simple as it seems…
And recognizing that even the simplest things can be beautiful.
The truth is, most things can be infinitely more wonderful than we expect…
Even ourselves!
So, no matter what circumstances you find yourself in, if you can embrace childlike curiosity, you can get to know the unknown…
And even things and people you think you know might surprise you.
