-HMH Fit tip #7-

Got a goal? Get a plant.

Let it be a metaphor for your growth. See how it responds to the conditions you create for it. See how getting enough water and light makes it grow and give off a healthy and vibrant energy. Watch when you forget to maintain those conditions how it slows into dormancy or even drops leaves or browns at the edges.

Ask yourself:

“How am I like this plant?” “What conditions must I maintain to opitimize my growth?” “Who is the caretaker responsible for providing these conditions for me?” (Psst. It’s you.)

Make your daily visit to your plant a reminder to maintain the conditions that are carrying you to your goal. What is your “water and light”? Hopefully it includes actual water, but what else? Supportive family and friends? Maybe it’s getting enough sleep. Maybe it’s preparing your meals ahead of time, not letting yourself get hungry, going to the gym on your way home, going for a run when you wake up, journalling, or a combination of factors working in concert to create your fit, vibrant, healthy self.

Let your plant teach you how to pay attention to what works and what doesn’t. Let it teach you the necessity of patience and persistence as it stands strong but grows slowly.

Celebrate new leaves on your plant and let it draw your attention to new growth and strength you see in yourself.

Allow your plant to teach you hope and resilience. Maybe you’ll neglect it a while and come to it in a sorry state all withered and tired. Watch as you reintroduce the conditions that it favours for it’s health and see it spring back to it’s best.

When you reach that big, lush, green, happy-plant goal, roots all crowding the pot and leaves reaching and spreading like you can’t stop it, that is definitely not the time to remove the conditions that brought you there. It may seem as if the work is over. You’ve arrived. All happy and beautiful. Remember, you’re still growing. Remove your “light and water” and slowly you’ll return to a softer, shrunken you. That, in fact, is the time to give yourself a bigger pot. A bigger goal. More room for you to expand past what you thought was your end point. Make your point B your new point A and forget all about where you started before.

Let your plant be your partner in change and growth. Inhale it’s oxygen and exhale your carbon dioxide and feel free to say out loud, “I can take care of you just like I can take care of me.” Plants love to be talked to. You’re in it together :)
