π± When the Pot Feels Too Small
Ever had that sense that something β a place, a role, even a relationship β just doesnβt fit anymore?
Not because it suddenly changed.
But because you did π«
We donβt always notice growth as itβs happening.
It often arrives quietly β through discomfort, restlessness, a longing for more breathing room.
And sometimes, the only sign is this:
What once felt just rightβ¦ now feels just a little too tightπͺ
Just like a plant outgrows its pot β not because the pot shrank,
but because its roots have stretched, deepened, and expanded πΏ
That doesnβt make the old space wrong.
It held you while you were growing. It served its purpose π
But now? Youβve outgrown it.
And when that happens, the answer isnβt to shrink yourself to fit.
Itβs to recognise that growth β and honour it with space that matches the life youβre ready to live π‘
πΌ A Few Signs the Potβs Too Small
You feel emotionally or mentally crowded, even in familiar places
You start imagining new possibilities, without knowing the exact next step
What used to bring comfort now feels slightly misaligned β not bad, justβ¦ off
You notice resistance where there used to be flow
This doesnβt just apply to your home.
It could be:
π’ A job that no longer challenges you
β€οΈ A relationship dynamic youβve outgrown
π§ A version of yourself youβre ready to gently leave behind
π What If the Discomfort Isnβt a Problem?
Instead of asking:
βWhatβs wrong with this?β
Try asking:
βIs this still big enough to hold who Iβm becoming?β π
Growth doesnβt always announce itself with fireworks.
Sometimes, it just whispers:
βHeyβ¦ I think we need more room.β
And when you honour that β
you donβt just move into a bigger space.
You step into a bigger life π
