You Are Getting Stronger

You are getting stronger.
Even when you can’t see it. Even when you don’t feel it.

You are growing.
Even when it feels like you keep falling down that same pattern. Even when it feels like you’ve learned so much that you shouldn’t still feel this way.

Healing is a process. A journey.
One, I think, where there is no there.
One where there is exactly where you are today.

I know that this is the last thing that we want to hear when we are in our darkest moments. We want to know that we don’t have to feel this way. That we will feel better.
And that is true – you won’t always feel this way.
But think about where you are coming from.
Trying to escape the darkness, versus choosing to move through it.
Believing that feeling this way means something is wrong with you, versus knowing that feeling this way is a part of being a human.

Leaning into the truth of that allows you to focus on how much you have grown, instead of how much you still have to go.
It’s natural for our brain to be looking for what’s going wrong in our life. To look for how far we still have to go. To see how much we lack.

But this is where you come in.
You get to remind your brain of the ways that you are getting stronger.
You get to decide to celebrate each and every win throughout your day, no matter how small it may be.
You get to choose to strengthen the part of your brain that focuses on these wins. That breathes them in. That savors them.

The more that you do this, the stronger that part of you becomes.
The stronger that part of you becomes, the easier it is to appreciate your growth.
The easier it is to appreciate your growth, the more you do it.
The more that you do it, the more you truly just enjoy the life that you have.

And isn’t that what we are all looking for?
That contentment with our life, exactly as it is.
Not needing it to be perfect, or for anything to change.
What we want is to feel exactly how we want to feel – alive. Full. At peace.

This is how you get there.
One moment at a time.

This is what I help my clients do. Accept where they are. Work through their darkness, and lean into their light. Decide who they want to be, and then help them show up that way each and every day. Having unconditional love for themselves as they learn, fail, and grow.

It’s not an end that we are searching for – it’s the life that we are creating. When you’re ready for this in your life, simply email me the word “HOPE” and I’ll respond with the details.
