🧠 Why are they becoming so distant?

Growth is beautiful. One day you stop apologizing for the fire inside you and instead use it to light your way.

Here are three mindsets to help you embrace your own growth.

1. Why are they becoming distant with you?

Listen to my new podcast episode where I talk about what someone’s distant behavior really means. I break it down mindfully and talk about how to interpret it.

• Distance is a way to control the narrative without having to confront the truth. 

• “I just need space” is NOT the same as healthy space

• What to do when distance becomes a pattern.

Listen here.

2. A person’s true colors

Seeing a person for who they truly are frees you from the illusion they created. When someone realizes they can’t control you and when their games fall flat, their ego takes the stage and they reveal who they really are. Unmasking someone's true self isn't a loss, it's a win for your peace of mind.

Their true colors are your cue to step into a life of higher standards. Clarity isn’t just about seeing them, it’s about realizing you deserve better.

A person’s true colors come out when

• they realize they can't control you.

• you stop accepting apologies without changed behavior.

• they have to choose between you and their ego.

• they realize you won’t tolerate their games.

• you finally hold them accountable for their actions.

• they’re expected to give as much as they take.

• you confront them about their broken promises.

3. The power of starting over

Starting over is a sign you're getting closer to what you want, not further from it.

But that's the problem, isn't it? We see starting over as a sign that you're getting further from who you want to be, the partner you deserve, the success you're working for, you name it. We think starting over means moving backwards not forwards.

But it's the opposite. When you've had enough, when you realize you're capable of more or of better and you decide to start over, be that ending a relationship, starting a new job, moving cities, letting go of old friends... you are moving away from what YOU have decided is less than what you deserve... and you're moving toward something better. End of story.

Starting over isn't for the weak. It takes a strong person to start over. Most people would just settle. To start over is to reject the mediocre and to pursue a higher standard because you decided you deserve it. The greatest gift you can give yourself is to start over. It's to say I deserve better than this and to never look back.

Starting over means you're getting closer to what you want, not further from it.
