The Happier Approach: Quieting your High Functioning Anxiety Episode 117: You Aren’t Failing, You’re Spiralling Up
Do you feel like the stuff you worked on 5, 10, or even 20 years ago has a way of coming back, even though you thought you'd found the solution?
There's a very good reason for that and, no, it’s not because you're broken.
It’s because change isn’t one and done. It’s ongoing.
It’s because of a concept that I call Spiralling Up.
It can often feel like we are relearning the same lesson over and over, but really we're experiencing a different level of that lesson–new situation, new challenges at a new level of insight.
Change is like ascending a spiral stare case that presents us with new challenges the higher we climb. It’s not that we are relearning an old lesson, it’s that through life we are being presented with a new and higher level of that lesson.
In this episode, we're going to look at how change works and specifically how the concept of Spirally Up can be applied to the life long project of growth and change. How you can step up to new challenges with a new perspective and remind yourself that you aren't failing–you're just spiraling up.
Listen to the full episode to hear:
- How having to re-visit life-lesson does not mean that we are broken
- How, while we do repeat lessons, we don’t unlearn all we have implemented before. We repeat the lesson one step up with a new perspective, new challenges, and new information
- What to do when we get stressed and overwhelmed and our triggers and patterns are more likely reveal themselves
- What the research shows about the change that results from our life experiences, and how that change often leans in a positive, helpful direction
- How the process of change takes an unpredictable, non-linear path
