You will need to trust the process of healing, even when it isnt comfortable or linear.
You will need to trust this because when we need to heal, we cant always trust ourselves.
When our nervous systems are wrecked and were traumatized and suffering, we cant think or feel clearly.
Nesrin Danan
Start with the most fundamental parts of your life, the ones that are always within your control.
A hot bath, a bedtime routine, a cup of coffee in the morning.
Start by moving your body, even in the smallest and simplest ways.
Get fresh air and change your clothes.
Take a shower and answer a text.
You dont have to do a lot, but do something.
Start to slowly reset your nervous system by taking it out of fight-or-flight.
Breathe deeply and meditate, walk and run.
You either heal this now or you show up in a year from now exactly where you are today.
You have to stay present, as much as you’re free to.
This is the piece that most people miss.
You cannot go back to what you knew before, and trying to is only making you suffer.
Youre standing in the ruins of what was, instead of building a new city in its place.
You will need to redesign your entire existence, one piece at a time.
You will need to let go of the life you chose for a person you no longer are.
You still get to decide what happens next, and what happens in the end.
Do one thing today that can move your life forward.
Strive to be just 1% better than you were before.
Growth, like love or sleep, happens to us slowly at first, and then all at once.
Stay the course, and trust the process.
You are always closer than you think.
