What does it mean?
Trusting the process, to me, is like tending to a new plant, you test the soil, find the right light, and slowly grow into what you’re meant to be.
This image above shows a propagation from my Monstera plant. Lately, I have honestly been struggling with my Monstera, the leaves have been seriously drooping and curling. So, what did I do? In a moment of impulsiveness, I decided to chop off one of the branches. I have got to admit, I was nervous, but once I made that cut, I told myself, “What’s done is done and let’s see what happens next.” That is when I started to slowly lean into (trusting the process). Since chopping off the branch, two new leaves have developed: an exciting sign of growth.
When I initially chopped off the branch:
Over the past few months, I have been carefully monitoring its growth, placing the aerial roots in water to encourage new development of new leaves and branches, fertilizing both the main plant and the propagation, changing the water every week or so, and making sure it gets plenty of sunlight.
The gallery below shows the beautiful progress over time. This short post is a gentle reminder to both you and me that life has a way of turning small uncertainties into something unexpectedly beautiful; often beyond what our minds can imagine.
Where in your life have you recently let go and trusted the process?
