I've produced a lot of stage productions and one thing I would always tell my students - because they would always assemble in a straight line (thank you, kindergarten teachers) - is "there are no straight lines in Nature." So if it's totally linear...it might be good to take a step back and re-think.
I always say healing, growth is a spiral… recursive thinking is the way to think of it, do not expect linear progress and leverage recursive thinking to catapult your growth when you reach that next turn on the spiral. If you know it’s coming you can use it rather than feeling as if you’ve moved backwards.

Great advice to those students! It’s hard to see where you’re going or where you’ve been if you stay in a straight line.
Truth…I liken life to the ancient spiral path traveled by spiritual initiates.
