5 phases of personal development


Molly explores these five phases of personal development through experiential workshops, retreats and webinars.

DESIRE


A growing sense of restlessness awakens, as individuals become aware of limitations they’ve internalized as a result of external obligations, expectations and systems.

During this period, individuals may find themselves saying things like:

“I feel like there’s something more, but I just can’t put my finger on it.”

“I have everything I need to be content, and yet I am not.  What’s going on?”

“There is a stirring inside of me, but I just can’t name it yet.”

FRICTION


As individuals move into exploring what’s possible outside of these internalized restrictions, they may feel guilt, shame, fear.

Statements said at this time may be:

“I’m concerned that if I do what feels freeing, I am not living up to my duties, as a wife/ mother/ husband/ father/ employee.”

“My family may disown me if I share who I really am.”

“People will think I am unstable, that I have lost my mind.”

ANGER


As individuals begin to examine how these internalized oppressive forces have limited their life experiences, anger may arise.

Questions asked at this time may be:

“Why did it take me so long?”

“What have I missed as a result of these limitations?”

“Why do these external forces want to control me?”

 

REVOLUTION


At this stage, individuals choose a new way of being, however, it is still a CONSCIOUS  decision. Because the decision is conscious, individuals:

May feel as if they are stepping into unknown territory.

May be perceived as rebellious, troublemakers, or negatively upsetting the “way things should be.”

May feel alone in their endeavors and this new “way of being.”

FREEDOM


At this stage, individuals become their actualized selves. They no longer (or at least less frequently) feel the fear of being their full and honest selves.

“Being” becomes the default way.

Peace of mind is the new normal.

They are content and confident.
