Maturing is… Reflections on Growth, Love, and Rest | The Honesty Circle Podcast
Diary Entry #56: Welcome to The Honesty Circle! Maturing isn’t just about age; it’s about learning, growing, and reflecting on how we move through life. In this episode, I share my personal reflections since my frontal lobe has connected hahaha -where the lessons from healing, discipline, and love have become more apparent.
What you’ll hear in this episode:
- Why “that’s just how I am” isn’t an excuse for harmful behavior.
- The power of discipline and how it spills into every area of life.
- Acknowledging feelings vs. always acting on them.
- Why healing doesn’t make you “better than” others.
- The importance of rest and taking a step back.
I’ll also dive into the tough but necessary realizations about relationships, accountability, and what it means to love intentionally. Oh, and yes-our parents were right about a few things!
This is the final episode of 2024, but The Honesty Circle will be back in 2025 with more heartfelt reflections and conversations.
Share your thoughts in the comments: What’s the most unexpected lesson you’ve learned as you’ve grown?

    Love this episode! It is so applicable to our mindset and how we interpret our world. We will definitely have an experience of what we focus our minds on, and the body will follow. I use this when it comes to challenges that I would label as stress in the past. Instead of saying, "I 'm stressed," I say I have a difficult challenge, and God will give me a strategy to help me navigate it.

    Thanks for being honest about your fear of flexibility. what are your thoughts on self esteem vs self compassion?

    • @TheHonestyCircle
      @TheHonestyCircle 7 місяців тому

      When it comes to self compassion, it's truly just being kind and caring to yourself. I think you can have high self-esteem but still not have self compassion. The difference is mainly that self esteems often comes with a level of analyzing/ranking yourself can also lead to comparing to others. I hope that makes sense. I'm not an expert though haha

    I agree as important it is to fit in at work it's important to do your work concisely and foster healthy relationships outside of work. I love the lens you took on our relationship with God. Its very easy to build a narcissistic relationship with God on how he benefits us instead of centering his overall character which Abba, Father one who is always and forever.

    This is such an insightful take on adulthood. As a clinician I think this take on reframing our experiences as adults is crucial especially for some of us who didn't have the best experiences as children. As an adults we get to create a safe space for our inner child to heal.

    “Diaphragmatic deep breathing” - access the vagus nerve which is connected to many parts in our body and DDB has been researched to be one of the most rapid ways to deactivate your fight or flight and activate your relaxation response. When you breathe in your nose, your belly should expand and when you breathe out through your mouth, your belly should deflat. One example: breath in through your nose for a count of 4, hold your breath for a count of 4 and exhale through your mouth for a count of 6, 7, 8 or longer. The exhale needs to be longer than the inhale.
