Cultivate by Lara Casey

Week 6: Chapter 5 — Pull Weeds

Read Chapter 5 of Cultivate by Lara Casey.

Weeds are not dramatic invaders — they creep in quietly, and they steal what your seeds need to grow; Casey's chapter on weed-pulling is one of the most personally searching in the book.

1.Casey describes how weeds in her garden were not obviously evil plants — they looked, at first glance, like they might belong there. What 'weeds' in your life currently look respectable or neutral but are actually stealing resources from what you are trying to grow?

2.She identifies comparison as one of the most insidious weeds — particularly in the age of social media. How does comparison function as a weed in your specific life? What does it steal from you when you allow it to grow unchecked?

3.Casey also names fear, people-pleasing, and perfectionism as common weeds. Which of these three has the deepest root system in your life? How long has it been growing there, and what has it cost you?
