Evolving Gracefully

The Challenges and Victories of a Single Woman 🙋‍♀️

As single women, we often build strong bonds with friends. However, life circumstances, career paths, and personal growth can lead to evolving friendships and sometimes, even drifting apart. This story highlights the challenge of accepting these changes gracefully and moving forward with resilience.

Life throws curveballs, doesn't it? ⚾ Unexpected things happen, often with the people we hold dearest. ❤️ You know that feeling – deep connection, shared secrets, a love that felt unshakeable. ✨ But people change, and sometimes, those changes can be surprising. 😮

I experienced this firsthand. A close friend, someone I confided in deeply, reached out after years of not being in touch. We met as she had some work in Delhi and was aware that I would get to know that she is in town. Just within sometime of our meeting, it became obvious that she was eager to leave. ⏰ I learned she had other plans, which was disappointing since i travelled a long distance to meet her.

In the past, this kind of situation would have deeply affected me. 💔 I would have fumed with rage on her insensitive behavior, questioning our friendship and feeling hurt. But something had shifted within me due to my daily practices and conscious lifestyle.

Through years of personal growth, including coaching and healing modalities, I've learned to respond, not react.  I've cultivated the ability to recognize and release anything that doesn't serve my well-being is better to let go.

Instead of taking her behavior to the heart, I simply acknowledged her time constraint with a smile.  I recognized that her actions were likely a reflection of her own circumstances, not a deliberate slight against me. This shift helped me maintaining in my mental peace. 

This experience reinforced a powerful truth: we can only control ourselves. We can't change others, their situations, or their perspectives.

I'm incredibly grateful to my coaches and mentors for guiding me on this journey of self-discovery. 🙏 They helped me understand that true liberation comes from within, from cultivating a mindset of peace and acceptance.  🙏
