What “unbecoming everything I’m not” means to me —
Being on a spiritual journey to me is ultimately a self-improvement journey , but lately that term hasn’t been sitting right with me.
As I become more and more intentional about the words I use to describe things , I feel like the idea of self-improvement can imply that our current state is not enough, it must always be improved.
While growth is integral to this journey, the current lesson I’ve been trying to integrate is that I’m whole and never lacking.
So I’ve been reframing it for myself in this way - I’m not becoming more myself (which would imply I was less myself) rather I’m shedding (unbecoming) everything I wasn’t.
I still have more I want to explore around this topic . Let me know if you can relate , I would also love any resources that explore this nuance.
