Something happens when you actually start to change. It is not what people expect.
You do not just feel relief. You feel resistance.
A voice shows up that says things like: who do you think you are to feel this good. This will not last. You are going to mess this up like you always do. If you let this go, what does that mean about everything you went through to get here.
That voice is not a character flaw. It is your nervous system trying to keep you where it has always known you to be, because familiar has always felt safer than unknown, even when familiar was painful.
This is why so many people sabotage progress right when it starts working. Not because they do not want change. Because change itself sets off an alarm.
If you have felt that pull this week, the urge to pull back right as something starts to shift, that is not you failing trying to change. Instead, this shows that you are in the right place for real change to take place.
Notice the belief. Name it without judgment. And keep going anyway. 🌿
