You're Not a Tree: If You Don't Like Where You Are, Move

You're Not a Tree: If You Don't Like Where You Are, Move Have you ever realized that you know what to do—but somewhere along the way, you stopped doing it? In this episode, I share a personal realization I've had over the past few months. I've been feeling more depressed and disconnected than usual, and as I reflected on what might be contributing to that, I recognized something important: I had slowly moved away from principles I had once learned and practiced. I've studied the laws and principles of creationfor the past several years—principles that helped me understand my agency, my ability to influence my life, and my role in consciously creating what comes next. And lately, I've realized I need to return to them. So rather than simply trying to push through how I've been feeling, I'm choosing to move. That becomes the principle at the heart of this episode: If you don't like where you are, move. You're not a tree. Sometimes we assume we're stuck because of our circumstances, our past, other people, or the season of life we're in. But we often have more agency than we realize. Moving doesn't necessarily mean making a huge, dramatic change. Sometimes it's as simple as recognizing what isn't working and doing something different. I share a funny example involving my husband and a pair of earplugs that perfectly illustrates this principle: if something isn't working, you don't have to simply tolerate it, or rely on external forces to change. You can move. This episode also marks a transition for the podcast. I'm wrapping up Season 2 and taking some time to revisit and practice these creation principles in my own life. When I return for Season 3, we'll dive deeper into what it means to consciously create a life that is aligned with who we are and who God is inviting us to become. Maybe you're feeling stuck somewhere in your own life right now. Maybe you've been tolerating something you don't actually have to tolerate. Or maybe you simply need permission to make a move. You're not a tree. If you don't like where you are, move. A question to consider: Where in your life are you unhappy with where you are—and what is one small move you could make? If you're facing a challenge, transition, difficult relationship, or uncomfortable emotion, I'd love to walk with you through it. Reach out to me and let's talk through it together. No strings, no offers, I just want to help.   [email protected] Instagram: aliciahowardbecoming
