What a fine day for some repotting & a wee something to think on …
We don’t just nurture our clients at Freeflow - Free Counselling/Mental Health Service ….
We also nurture our much loved counselling room plants
As just like plants, we outgrow our surroundings & consequently can get a bit stunted when we outgrow the worlds that we live in.
You know that feeling when life isn't terrible, but it's not amazing either?
When you're functioning fine but nothing feels amazing?
Like you're operating on autopilot, ticking boxes, serving everyone else's needs but forgetting your own?
That's when you need repotting.
Plants get root-bound when they've outgrown their pot. They survive, but they don't thrive.
The same thing happens to us.
We get stuck in patterns, roles, and environments that once served us but now feel constrictive.
In gardening terms, repotting means giving a plant fresh soil, more space, and better conditions to flourish.
For us , it's about creating space and having the courage to get clear on whats working, what isn't, and what wants to grow next.
The first half of our lives is spent collecting - the job, the house, the relationships and the responsibilities. Its easy to lose ourselves in all that doing. We become so focused on fitting in and serving others that we forget who we actually are underneath it all.
Life is always offering us opportunities to change: permission to pause. To ask different questions.
Not "What do I need to do?" but "Who am I becoming?" Not "How do I fit in?" but "Where do I truly belong?"
Sometimes we need to step away from our everyday world to see it clearly. To remember that we're not just a collection of roles and responsibilities - we're whole humans with dreams, desires, and untapped potential.
If you have an urge to "reset and reconsider" your world our team can help you get ‘repotted’ 💚
