This blog is sponsored by MarkahVida with an invitation to the Soul Purposefull Retreat, an experience focused on personal growth on June 6-9 in Carefree AZ.

Do you ever feel like you’re a juggler at the circus, trying to keep all those balls in the air without dropping a single one? What if instead of keeping all the balls in the air, you intentionally set some down and left them there? 

Let’s get real real for a second, not everything is yours to pick up and it certainly isn’t for you to keep holding onto. It’s so easy to say we want things to be easier, but our actions speak way louder. We want to take off the heavy mental load and toss it in a fictitious trash can, but we hold onto it so tight because of expectations we put on ourselves. 

Imagine what your version of personal growth could look like.

What would happen if instead of looking at your list with how much there is to do, you release the grind, the have-to’s, the rules you’ve built around your day, and allow for space to tackle only the necessary things each day? Have you ever considered an approach with a sense of curiosity, ease and playfulness?

We live in a world where productivity and jam-packed schedules reigns supreme and hustle culture, well she’s the queen. [Raise your hand if you’re checking emails on the weekend?] I understand it’s easy to get caught up in the rat race. 

But here’s the thing, personal growth doesn’t come with a fancy ROI. It’s not about how much you can squeeze out of each experience; it’s about how deeply you can dive into self-discovery and emerge with a whole new perspective. So, why are you looking for one? 

According to a Gallup study, women are 60% more likely to experience burnout than men. This study surveyed nearly 7,500 full-time employees and found that 48% of women reported feeling burned out often or always, compared to 30% of men. (Source: Gallup, “Women and Burnout: Why it Matters for Your Business”)

Women find it difficult to take time for personal growth.

What’s even worse is women hesitate to acknowledge or report their struggles due to societal expectations or fear of professional repercussions. This underreporting perpetuates a cycle of stress and exhaustion, hindering efforts to address burnout effectively

With this understanding, I invite you to ask yourself, when was the last time you did something that wasn’t attached to what others expected of you? Are you staring into space racking your brain for that “last time”? Filling your cup isn’t selfish and it certainly doesn’t need to come with an expected ROI. 

It all starts with self-awareness.

What do you need right now? Is it a break? Is it a refresh? Is it not having to do something for other people for a few days? 

By tuning inward to our thoughts, feelings, and actions, we gain the power to break free from the thoughts that bind us and keep us stuck. Self-awareness isn’t just a buzzword; it’s the secret sauce that makes personal growth possible because once you’re aware of a thought or habit, you can start doing something to change it.

The Real ROI of Personal Growth

Personal growth is not an indulgence; it’s an investment. By prioritizing your physical, emotional, and mental well-being, you increase productivity, creativity, and improve relationships. You are the greatest asset to your business. When you prioritize your personal growth, you show up as the best version of yourself – resilient, focused, and inspired. It’s not just good for you; it’s good for business. 

Business Thrives When You Do
