Fertilizer For Growth... -

Words & Pics by Mandy Antzoylatos

I was chatting to a client recently about the parts of her job that she’s not loving, and I shared an insight with her that I’d heard from another client which I think is brilliant.

She said, “Sometimes the sh*&#ty parts of our jobs are the fertilizer for growth and the good to come…”. So True!

If you think about that statement, it really is about our own mindsets. How we view the situation. How we choose to be present with it and what we choose to do.

So, it had me thinking about some of the ‘fertilizer’ from this year.
What might we want to release, and what may grow from it if we see it as fertilizer rather than sh%t… 😉

Perhaps some questions to ponder on are:

Where have you felt frustrated or stuck recently? Or what parts of your life are you needing to do but not loving?

How has this stretched you to do something different and to make a change with regards to that situation?

How could you use the ‘fertilizer’ from that frustration to nurture new growth?

If you continued to fertilize and nurture, what might start blooming?

For example, I have a client who loved her work but was really triggered by her manager. Our first session was about the work messages she used to receive on a Sunday afternoon which just paralyzed her!

The ‘paralysis’ made it so clear to her that she didn’t want to work for someone, and actually wanted to have her own business.

That clarity helped her stay in the job (we did a LOT of work on clearing her resentment and irritations with the ‘boss’ so she could function on a daily basis) while she saved furiously. At the same time, she learnt as much as she could about running a business.

Fast forward a couple of years, and she and her husband now run a successful food business, and even opened a new shop during lockdown!!!

She sat with the sh*#t for a while, knowing it would fertilize her dreams 🙂

I’d love to hear what you’re planning on fertilizing and nurturing as we head into the New Year.

Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season and please stay safe…

Warm wishes,
