Self-Growth: Are You Going Through a Transformation?
The Top 3 Signs You Might Be Going Through an Important Transformation in Your Life…
Have you been going through a “tough time” lately..? Do you know you are meant to do more and fulfill a larger purpose? This year has been a year full of massive change for me. Last year I lived in Texas, now Im bistatal, living in both Texas and Atlanta, last year I had no kids, this year I have two wonderful boys whose lives I am helping guide into self-empowerment! So much change… so little time! Though it’s been great in many ways, it’s also been difficult and a bit overwhelming for me! The great thing is, I know all this was placed before me to help me grow and step up to fulfilling my purpose in a bigger and better way than before… so, since I’m going through what I believe is a full-fledged Transformation, I wanted to pose this question to you (and give you some of my answers!):
How can you tell if it’s just a rough patch or you are really undergoing a Transformation?
1) It Sucks Sometimes.
Ay chihuahua! Think about the little caterpiller… stuck in a cocoon, think about the birthing process… There are periods of expansion when things seem to be going smoothly and you’re moving forward, then there are periods of contraction when things seem stuck, unpleasant, annoying and uncomfortable at the very least. And you may even feel yourself moving BACKWARDS sometimes!
It can really suck. And that’s ok… It’s always darkest before the dawn… just be sure to Hold On!
2) Are You Getting Pushback?
Are you getting some pushback from people around you? Even from yourself maybe? Could it be because you are threatening to heal or complete or grow or become more empowered in some way? Listen, when you make the decision to grow and become more, to live a life of joy and fulfillment, you’ll get a lot of unhappy people around you. I guarantee it.
You’ve probably heard this said before… you cannot stay unhealthy/sick/poor enough to heal or help another person. Be aware and be compassionate when the people around you get upset that you are going through a transformation. It’s scary to them and can remind them of the growth they might not be doing in their lives. Send them blessings and keep moving forward with your growth.
3) Are You Growing From It?
Listen to your intuition. This is your inner wisdom and it’s always leading you in the right direction for you. Trust Yourself. The thing is, many times we get caught up in our own “stuff” and can’t see or hear ourselves clearly!
When that happens, It’s helpful if you can find a coach or mentor to help you grow though these periods of change. I’m heading to Martha’s Vineyard the second week of June to do just that with a 2 day Vision Weekend to get clear on my own vision and path for my life during this time of growth… I’ll come back with details on how it helped me during my current Transformation!
So be aware and awake to see the opportunities for growth during these times so you can emerge bigger, better, brighter! And when you do, there are people around you who you’ll inspire to live their best life too! (Hopefully, like my two soon-to-be-step-sons!)

I am so in love with the transformation of butterflies, I need to get some more butterfly attracting flowers for the garden…
Are you going through any transformations lately?
The old caterpillar example still applies to this modern world culture.The major obstacle for anybody is their own negative thinking about life. I truly accept that we must listen to our intuition to make successful decision.
“its always the darkest before dawn” . This sentence from your article really made me sit up and review the difficult phase I am in. I hope this leads to a wonderful transformation. Thanks for the wonderful article and filling my heart with hope for a miraculous transformation. I look forward to your future posts.
Thank you again Maritza
I recently went through the biggest transformation of my life when I had my first child in November. What a big change that was!
I experienced all of the above; it was very hard at first because it was such a dramatic change from the life I lived before, where my biggest concern was myself, going out with friends, etc. And I definitely received plenty of pushback from those friends who were still stuck in partying ways and couldn’t understand my attempt to grow and change.
But here I am, six months later, and I could not be happier. I’m definitely a new person and it’s definitely for the better. My daughter is the most beautiful thing to happen in my life, and helped me make an important transformation!

” It’s scary to them and can remind them of the growth they might not be doing in their lives. Send them blessings and keep moving forward with your growth.”Very beautiful words written above and should be followed for a peace full progress, in our life.
Firstly, great article. I really believe that you’re correct, and I’m speaking by experience. It actually took me a while to get over the hump, and it’s nice to see someone who feels the same and can comment on these transformations.
I was having a rough time all round – my boss at work was asking way to much from me, my parents weren’t happy with my attitude around them, I stopped developing myself in basketball and most importantly my girlfriend noticed this and started finding it annoying to be around me. Even though I knew I was acting strange, I just couldn’t help it – everything was so messed up.
So, one day I just decided to take some time to think it all through, and look at what was happening from a different angle. My life was falling apart, and I had to do something. My decision was to go back to what worked for me in the past – I decided to make everything better starting from top to bottom. I went to my parents, had a great dinner with them and didn’t fight for the first time. I saw my girlfriend and excused myself for my behavior, and patched it up. I told my boss that it wasn’t pleasant working for him – and to my surprise, he started acting normal and now we’re actually good friends.
Everything worked out well for me, and I’ve definitely learned a life lesson – when things get tough, go back to what you know.
Pat, thanks for sharing your wonderful Mommy experiences! I hope to know 1sthand someday soon myself! 🙂
Thanks Sonia, for your beautiful comment – I love things that make me “sit up” and take notice!
Your butterfly book is really so cute. The life of butterfly is really wonderful in this video. The top three things you said in this article for transformation life is amazing one. I agree with you. Your article is really different one to read. I like to read more articles from you differently like this. Maritza thanks for giving this article.
Unlike Butterflies, we are always in transformation – and that is a good thing. While it is a good analogy, using the metamorphosis as a metaphor – we are so much more than that. While beautiful, butterflies are limited to short colorful lives. We are blessed with long, difficult ones. The transformations we go through can last minutes or they can last years, but compared to butterflies it’s an eternity. An eternity filled both with pain and with pleasure. The time in between are often our transformations.
Maritza, I just saw the butterfly video. What a wonderful way to start my day; thank you so much and I hope you have a wonderful one full of blessings also. I am ready to go and grab my transformation opportunity for the day. You always talk about the importance of mindset. Every time your life touches mine, I feel I get a constructive “Attitude Adjustment”.

Yep, same here. I just quit my day-job and starts an information business now with a colleague (check the site). There are millions of people out there going through the same thing and realize that basically everything in life is an illusion. And now they wonder what the heck it’s all about. The changes will come more and more rapidly and it will become hard to keep up.
But one thing is clear to me now. I’ll never let any jerk control my life, work and income again.
Loved your horse pictures, I’ve been riding for 15 years and it’s really something with horses that make them special.
