As we move into Week 2 of our Bloom Into Wellness journey, it’s time to get our hands into the soil of our own lives and clear the weeds.
In nature, weeds crowd out the plants we want to thrive. In our own wellness journey, “weeds” often show up as old habits, heavy emotions, or limiting beliefs that choke our progress. If we want to bloom fully, we must first make space.
Here’s how you can begin to release what no longer serves you:
🌸 1. Identify your weeds
We can’t clear what we don’t notice. Ask yourself: What patterns, habits, or thoughts are holding me back from greater wellness?
It might be staying up too late, skipping meals, negative self-talk, people-pleasing, or the belief that you’re not “good enough” to prioritize your own wellbeing. Get curious and gentle here. No judgment, just awareness.
🌸 2. Acknowledge their purpose
Every weed had a reason for sprouting. That late-night scrolling may have helped you decompress from stress. That old belief may have once protected you from disappointment.
Recognizing the why behind our obstacles helps us release them with compassion, not force.
🌸 3. Choose one small shift
You don’t need to yank out the whole garden at once! Start small. Maybe you set a consistent bedtime, take a few deep breaths when overwhelmed, or gently challenge a negative thought when it arises. Small shifts, repeated consistently, create lasting change.
🌸 4. Create supportive conditions
Replace the weed with something nourishing. If you’re releasing overcommitment, practice saying no and create quiet time. If you’re letting go of comparison, focus on gratitude or self-acknowledgment. We thrive when we give ourselves what we actually need.
🌸 5. Be patient with the process
Just like in nature, weeds may return, and that’s okay. What matters is noticing, tending, and beginning again with kindness. Growth is a cycle, not a one-time event.
