DEEP IN THE FOREST I FOUND MY STRENGTH

This weekend, I didn’t feel romantic.

I felt the shift.
From the depths of the ocean to the grounded stillness of the forest.
No more waves. No more drifting.
Only standing steady in truth.

And from this place, a question whispered from the depths of the forest,

"Am I healing or am I stuck?"

 

Not every part of healing is soft.

 Sometimes, it asks us to stop floating and face the hard truth,

"Am I moving forward, or circling the same wound and calling it healing?"

Here’s what I’ve learned while on this path.

Integration feels like:
→ Naming what happened without collapsing.
→ Validating pain, but not becoming it.
→ Feeling emotions, without letting them define you.
→ Knowing deep down that I am not my pain. I am the one moving through it.

Feeling Is Healing

If you allow yourself to fully feel your emotions, it takes about 90 seconds for the emotions to move through your body. If you don't fully feel your emotions, they stay stuck and cause pain in many ways. 

 

Wouldn't you rather sob for 90 seconds, sniffle, wash your face and wipe your nose, and continue on with your day instead of living with that sadness for 30 years or more?

Victim consciousness feels like:
→ Feeling powerless or stagnant.
→ Defining yourself by your wounds.
→ Repeating painful stories to avoid change.
→ Secretly hoping to be saved.

You can feel sadness, grief, anger and still be in your power.
Feeling is healing.

But when pain becomes your identity, it keeps you stuck.

The difference?
Your relationship to the emotion.
✨ Are you letting it move through you… or letting it define you?

If this resonates, I invite you to reflect:
Where am I integrating, and where am I repeating?

Life isn't only about celebrations. Life is everything.
