Exploring the concepts of evolving versus remaining stagnant and how self-sabotage plays a role in personal growth and development.

I stumbled onto the following in my instagram feed:
"Not everyone was put here to evolve. Some were put here to show you what happens when you don't."

The truth is, we are all evolving and remaining simultaneously in different parts of our lives. Bringing these things into our conscious awareness can stimulate growth and evolution.

For example:

Maybe subconsciously you are remaining in a toxic relationship rather than choosing to speak up and evolve the relationship.

Maybe you're saying you want to evolve your health, but your "reward" of McDonalds after every workout is sabotaging your efforts, so your health is remaining the same.

Why do we do this?  Because of the motivational triad.

 Motivational Triad:
The brain seeks 3 things.
1) It seeks out pleasure
2) It seeks to avoid pain or discomfort
3) It's goal is to get the biggest reward possible for the least amount of effort possible.

Whether we choose to evolve or to remain, we WILL experience discomfort. You get to choose which form of discomfort you're willing to feel.

Do you want to choose into the discomfort of that familiar but hurtful relationship? Or do you want to choose into the discomfort of stating your needs and setting boundaries  to create change and evolve the relationship?

Do you want to choose into the discomfort of being overweight, out of breath, and unable to get up off of the floor? Or do you want to choose into the discomfort of healthy movement, healthy food and healthy portions to evolve your health?

Do you want to choose into the discomfort of feeling unseen, unheard and unappreciated as you continue in your people pleasing ways? Or do you want to choose into the discomfort of speaking up, stating your boundaries, and asking for your needs to be met?

The choice is yours. Evolve or remain.
