Not everything you call healing is growth.Sometimes it’s just a more comfortable way to stay the same.
I’ve caught myself doing it more than once.Calling it “taking my time”, when in reality I was just avoiding the decision.Calling it “protecting my energy”, while I was running from discomfort.Calling it “waiting for alignment”, even though I already knew what needed to be done.
In yoga there’s a principle called Tapas it’s not about forcing. It’s about being willing to stay in the fire long enough to change.
Most people don’t lack clarity.They lack the willingness to sit in that moment where it’s uncomfortable… and move anyway.
That’s the part nobody talks about.Growth often doesn’t feel soft. It feels honest. And honesty burns a bit.
Question: Where are you calling it healing… when it’s actually avoidance?
