The Journey Begins with Discomfort

That persistent, dull feeling in your gut isn't something to rationalize away. It's not a sign that something is wrong-it's a signal that you're finally safe enough to feel what you've been carrying all along. Those unprocessed emotions from your past remain like undigested food, waiting for you to create the space to focus on these tensions. Healing begins when you allow forgotten memories to surface. You'll need to cry for your younger self, mourn losses, and insert your adult wisdom into painful memories. Your body needs to release tension-through movement, through tears, even through shaking-surrendering to vulnerability instead of guarding against it. Through this process, your world transforms. You'll exit relationships and begin others. You'll find new inspirations and return to your authentic self by burning away emotional blockages. You'll learn to process experiences in real-time: crying when sad, expressing frustration, speaking your truth. What if those uncomfortable feelings aren't problems to solve but gateways to a more authentic life? What if your perceived inadequacies are actually redirecting you toward what truly matters? The courage to keep trying despite closed doors might be the very process that builds your character and faith.
