Rethinking Self-Improvement: Embracing Wholeness Instead of Fixing Brokenness
The self-improvement industry often operates on the flawed premise that individuals are inherently broken and need fixing. This perspective creates a limiting mindset, as it frames any emotional inquiry or personal growth as a necessary healing process rather than embracing the concept of 'unfoldment,' where one recognizes that they are already okay and safe. Approaching self-improvement with an agenda to 'fix' can lead to resistance and hinder natural growth. Instead, cultivating curiosity and presence allows for organic development rather than striving to conquer feelings or triggers. The prevalent messaging in the self-improvement sector tends to perpetuate the idea of brokenness, which ultimately constrains the potential for genuine personal evolution and fulfillment. This shift in perspective is not only a challenge but also a lifelong exploration towards embracing wholeness rather than the notion of needing to achieve improvement through fixing.
