The moment I heard myself say this out loud, I had to pause and write it down. 🤯
✨️"Respond from the person you are today, not the person you were conditioned to be."✨️
We spend SO much of our lives running on autopilot—saying yes when we mean no, shrinking ourselves to fit into old patterns, reacting from wounds that aren't even ours anymore. 💔
But here's the thing about growth: when we learn new things, our brains don't update overnight. Those old patterns are still there, running in the background like outdated software. The new patterns? They're forming. They need repetition. ✅️
And when we're overwhelmed, tired, or triggered? We default back to what's familiar. It's not failure—it's neuroscience - it's survival mode. 🙏
This phrase is a way to realign with who you are today and who you're becoming. Your present self—the one who's done the work and is still learning—deserves to lead. 🌱
What would change in your life if you let your present self lead? You're not alone in this. 👇
