#113 Stop Measuring Growth by How You Feel

What if still feeling afraid, uncertain, or uncomfortable isn’t evidence that you haven’t grown? We often measure personal growth, healing, and self-trust by how much easier difficult experiences feel.

If the fear is still there, we assume we’re not ready. If something still hurts, we question whether we’ve healed. If uncertainty remains, we wait for clarity before moving. Without realizing it, we start using emotional comfort as proof of progress.

In this episode of Mindfucks With Mahara, I challenge that measurement. Capacity expansion doesn’t necessarily remove the emotion. It changes your relationship with it, and what that emotion gets to determine.

Because you can feel exactly what you felt before and be an entirely different woman in relationship to it.

The question may no longer be, “Why do I still feel this?”

It may be something far more revealing.
