10 Things that May be Keeping You from the Healing You Desire-Keeping You in the Cycle of Defeat or Grief - Part 1
“Motivation often comes after action, so waiting for it to strike before taking steps toward healing will only keep us stuck.” - Tami Imlay
PODCAST #9
In this first part, we'll explore the top five roadblocks that might be hindering your journey towards healing and growth. Life has a way of throwing us curveballs, leaving us feeling broken and lost. Whether it's the pain of loss, the aftermath of a divorce, or the sting of a shattered dream, I understand that navigating through these trials can be incredibly challenging.
As a widowed mom myself, I've experienced firsthand the journey from heartache to healing. Through my own struggles, I've discovered that there's immense power in embracing our stories, finding strength in our vulnerabilities, and reclaiming the joy and purpose that life has to offer. So, let's embark on this journey together, with open hearts and minds, as we uncover the keys to unlocking a life of restoration and renewal.
Key Takeaways:
Comfortable fear keeps us immobilized in our comfort zones, preventing us from embracing growth and change.
Constantly dwelling on "what if" scenarios anchors us to an unreal past or future, hindering our ability to move forward.
Refusing to accept our reality or avoiding it altogether only prolongs our pain and prevents true healing.
Surrounding ourselves with supportive, like-minded individuals who understand our experiences is crucial for our healing journey.
Motivation often comes after action, so waiting for it to strike before taking steps toward healing will only keep us stuck.
