What is Expanding?

Your skills, perspective, or responsibilities are growing beyond where they were before. You are stepping into new territory and finding that you are capable of more than you previously thought. Each new challenge is stretching the boundaries of what you can do.

When you might feel expanding

Expanding is a specific form of learning, which itself is a type of growing. You might experience this feeling in situations where growing is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define expanding.
