Stop Digging Up Your Seeds

Clearing Space for Real Growth
There’s a pattern I see over and over again — and if I’m honest, I’ve lived it too.
You feel the spark.A new vision.A big decision.A deep yes in your body that says: This is it. This is the new direction.
You plant the seed with excitement, intention, devotion.
And then… three days later, you’re already digging it back up.
“Why isn’t anything happening yet?”“Did I do it wrong?”“Maybe I need to change the plan.”“Maybe this wasn’t meant for me.”
Sound familiar?
The Soil Matters More Than the Seed
We love to talk about intention, manifestation, vision boards, affirmations — all the shiny things. But almost no one talks about the environment those intentions are planted into.
Your soil is your nervous system.Your belief system.Your emotional backlog.Your unresolved grief, rage, fear, scarcity, and survival patterns.
If you plant a beautiful seed into soil that’s full of old wounds, toxic patterns, and unexamined beliefs, that seed doesn’t magically bypass them.It grows through them.
Which means whatever is in your soil gets encoded into what you’re creating.
That relationship.That business.That version of yourself you’re calling in.
Same seed.Different soil.Completely different outcome.
Growth Isn’t About Adding More — It’s About Creating Space
This is the unsexy part of growth.The part that doesn’t sell well on social media.The part that can’t be rushed.
Healing — real healing — doesn’t happen because you pile more on.
More practices.More strategies.More supplements.More information.More doing. It happens when you create space. I learned this deeply through fasting — not as a trend, not as punishment, but as a teacher. When you stop constantly feeding the body, it remembers how to heal itself. It recalibrates. It clears. It repairs.
The same is true energetically. Instead of asking, “What do I need to add?”Try asking:“What do I need to remove?” What beliefs are expired?What habits are running on autopilot?What relationships, environments, or thought loops are draining more than they’re giving?
You don’t need more fuel.You need less interference.
Stop Digging Up Your Seeds
One of the fastest ways to sabotage your own growth is impatience disguised as “self-awareness.”
Planting a seed and then constantly checking if it’s working is like pulling it out of the ground every week to see if it has roots yet.
It doesn’t help.It disrupts the process.
Growth requires trust.And trust requires a regulated nervous system. You can’t rush nature.You can’t bully your body.You can’t control timing without creating resistance. It doesn’t matter how long you “wait” if the soil is still full of weeds. Clearing comes first. Then time does its quiet, invisible magic.
Nature Already Knows This
Watch animals when they’re unwell.
They don’t optimize.They don’t overconsume.They don’t search for a thousand fixes.
They rest.They fast.They drink water.They withdraw and let the system do what it was designed to do.
And they recover faster than we do.
Meanwhile, we humans keep adding layers to a system that’s already overwhelmed. Sometimes the most powerful move isn’t action — it’s restraint. Not doing. Not forcing. Allowing.
How to Start Clearing Your Soil
If you’re feeling stuck, heavy, or like your dreams aren’t moving — start here:
1. Clear the physical first Your space mirrors your inner world. Declutter your home, your workspace, your car. Move stagnant energy by moving objects.
2. Clean up your energy hygiene Be ruthless with what — and who — has access to you. Notice what leaves you drained versus nourished.
3. Listen to your body, not your mind Your body is always telling the truth. Rest when it asks. Drink water. Pause. Let yourself be human.
4. Release outdated storiesJournal them. Speak them. Breathe them out. You don’t need to carry identities that no longer fit.
5. Practice patience as a disciplinePatience isn’t passive. It’s an active choice to trust life instead of controlling it.
The Real Work
The work isn’t forcing your dreams to grow faster.It’s creating the conditions where growth is inevitable.
Clear the soil.Stop digging.Trust what you’ve planted.
When the environment is right, growth doesn’t need motivation.It happens.
And when it blooms — it will be richer, cleaner, stronger, and more aligned than anything you could have forced into existence.
You’re not behind.You’re just being asked to clear space.
Let it be enough.
With clarity and passion
