Five Reflection Questions For Your Cocoon Stage

The caterpillar must retreat into darkness to become transformed on the other side. Here are five reflection questions to use as a starting point if you're currently in your "no longer a caterpillar " but “not quite a butterfly” stage. 

  1. Even if this season feels like one of hiding, how can you allow the darkness to serve as an incubator for who you're becoming?

  2. Unlike caterpillars, butterflies have wings. What is weighing you down that you may consider letting go to soar higher?

  3. It's essential to remember where we came from. What lessons from your "caterpillar" stage are you bringing along into this new season? Which lessons have served their purpose and are no longer needed?

  4. Growth can be uncomfortable. What supports are necessary to bring more ease to this transformation experience?

  5. How do you stay encouraged when you find yourself impatient with the process?
