Growth isnât always graceful. When you start healing, the parts of you that once kept you âsafeâ will try to pull you back.
Negativity might feel louder. Doubts may whisper that youâre not ready. Your mind will look for comfort in old habits because the new ones feel unfamiliar.
This isnât failureâitâs your subconscious trying to protect you from change, even when that change is what youâve prayed for.
There will be days when you wonder if the old version of you was easier. When you question whether healing is worth the work. But hereâs the truth: the cost of staying the same is far greater.
Staying stuck costs you more than money. It drains your energy, steals your peace, and keeps you living beneath your potential.
Every time you silence your voice to keep the peace, overthink instead of rest, overeat, overspend, or overwork to numb what hurtsâyou pay for it. Not just in dollars, but in joy, connection, and calling.
Healing asks for courage. But what you gainâa clear mind, calm spirit, restored confidence, and peace that lastsâis worth every moment of the climb.
And remember: you wonât walk this road alone. Each lesson, reflection, and rhythm in Confidently You will help you stay grounded when it feels messy, so you can rise stronger than before.
âBe still, and know that I am God.â
â Psalm 46:10 (KJV)
âHealing doesnât ask for perfectionâit asks for presence. Every moment you show up is a victory.â
â Sarah K. Jensen
