Dear Self, It’s Thursday: Sweeping issues under the rug always seems easier than addressing them. Why do we do this? Because we convince ourselves it’s easier. It’s easier to say, “Oh, it’s not that bad,” or minimize the consequences by thinking, “Well, I didn’t die, so I’m good.” Somewhere along the way, we conditioned ourselves to believe that survival is enough to avoid the process of healing.
But survival and healing are not the same thing.
Sometimes a breakthrough looks like a breakdown. Allow yourself to scream, cry, and talk about your wound. Healing takes time and energy, and you’re probably thinking, “I don’t have time for either.” But stop asking, praying, and hoping for things to get better without making time to go through the process. An ask with no action is simply a wish.
Stop wishing things will get better while continuing to sweep them under the rug. It won’t get better that way. You’re only prolonging the inevitable. YOU got this! Go through the healing process, even if it hurts more than the wound itself.
Make yesterday jealous of today. Adjust your crown, chin up, shoulders back, and give yourSELF a wink.
