Returning to Your Roots with Greenwoode Village

Repairing your foundations to build a stronger future!

Like trees, our roots are our foundation. When times get tough, and we’re under the most pressure, it’s our roots which ensure that we stay anchored. As our branches twist and turn and break, it’s our roots, or foundation, that remain solid and steady.

Throughout life, our journey often takes us in various directions, trying new things, meeting new people, and often failing. Still, with a solid foundation to fall back on, the fall is never far, and we’ll be ready to pick ourselves up and try again.

Returning to our roots, we’ll better understand the journey, remember who we are and what drives us to do what we do, act the way we act, and build upon our core values.

Our Roots Shape Our Past, Present, and Future

As mentioned above, our roots shape our past, present, and future, making returning to your roots crucial.

Our roots impact our past because they allow us to understand where it was, where we came from, and how we developed into the person we are today.
Our roots impact our lives now because our roots allow us to remember what’s valuable to us.
Our roots impact our future because they will assist us in determining which path we take and how to achieve our hopes and dreams, and they will also help us avoid making the same mistakes.

The Benefits of Returning to Your Roots

1. Provides You with Greater Understanding

Returning to your roots allows you to learn more about your history and heritage, giving you a better understanding of where you come from and how you gained your core values and beliefs.

2. Can Help Accelerate Healing

Pain that we haven’t acknowledged is hard to heal and overcome. While moving on and forgetting what caused the pain may provide temporary relief, by burying the pain instead of dealing with it, we’re only putting off the inevitable. Returning to your roots can allow you to deal with issues that have caused you pain and allow you the chance to move on.

3. Opportunities for Reconciliation

Sometimes, issues with people from our past have existed for many years, building up resentment, which can lead to emotional and physical separation from friends and family. Returning to our roots allows us to mend broken bridges and heal fractured relationships from our past, allowing us to form new, healthier relationships.

4. Provide Us with Context

Returning to our roots gives us context regarding what our ancestors went through, why they did things the way they did, and what led them to form their core beliefs. It will give us insight into how we formed our beliefs and also the opportunity to discover new beliefs through shared experiences.

5. Gives Us the Opportunity to Grow and Learn

Instead of running from our mistakes, which may feel like the best way to escape some situations at the moment, learning from them is the best pathway to greater understanding. However, we often need time to fully reflect on situations. Returning to our roots can give us the time to fully understand what happened, why it happened, and how to move forward.
