What Drives you Away from feeling Nurtured:
Mina had always associated nurturing with unpleasant memories. Growing up, her mother often used nurturing as a way to control her, showering her with affection only to demand something in return. Her experiences conditioned her to feel that she was not nurtured. There was a deep reluctance to nurture herself or others, fearing it would lead to manipulation or obligation. What Mina didn’t know was that she is naturally being nurtured by the Universe, like air, water, sunshine, breath, body organs and more.
At work, Mina avoided team-building activities, rarely offering to help her colleagues, keeping aloof to avoid emotional entanglements. Her friends noticed her distance, but she always brushed off their, insisting she was fine. Inside, she felt a growing emptiness, a disconnect that left her feeling isolated and dejected.
Baby Steps Forward:
One rainy evening, Mina stumbled upon an old journal while cleaning her apartment. Flipping through the pages, she found entries from her teenage years, filled with dreams and hopes she had long forgotten. The words struck a chord, awakening a part of her that longed for connection and care.
Determined to change, Mina started small. She bought a plant, something she could nurture without fear. At first, it felt strange, but as she watched it grow, she felt a spark of joy. That was the metaphor which worked for her. Encouraged, she began to extend this nurturing to herself. She set aside time for activities she loved, like painting and reading, and gradually, the walls she had built began to crumble.
At work, Mina took a leap and joined a mentorship program, sharing her experiences and learning from others. To her surprise, she found fulfilment in helping her colleagues grow. Her friendships deepened as she allowed herself to be vulnerable, accepting and offering support without fear of reciprocity.
One morning, as she tended to her now-blooming garden, Mina realized she had transformed. By nurturing herself, she had discovered a wellspring of strength and compassion within. Her reluctance had given way to a new understanding: nurturing was not about obligation but about fostering growth and love, starting with herself. Mina understood now, why her mother had been the way she was, with her.
Mina inspired those around her, showing that true nurturing begins from within. She became a mentor for others.
