Healing Doesn't Mean Helpless

"You have the power to heal your life, and you need to know that. We think so often that we are helpless, but we're not. We always have the power of our minds... claim and consciously use your power."

- Louise L. Hay

It is true that healing isn't linear. You think you're healing - you're reading your verses and praying, drinking your water, keeping up with yourself and your loved ones. Everything seems balanced. Life is content and it feels like you've mastered being the pilot of your healing journey. But when something happens in your life that takes you off track. An event triggers a memory or a feeling that you struggle with. That darkness that we mentioned in the last post tends to take over and you feel like you've been knocked off your healing journey.

I struggle with this often. In these times, I feel like I've failed myself - like all the lessons that I learned during my healing were all for nothing.

But I have to remember that the healing is just resetting. We go through so many healing journeys in our lives that serve not only to teach us lessons, but to grow us closer and closer to our light within. Our light within is what allows us to remember that our healing is so beautiful because of how far we've brought ourselves. It is so unique to us and our lives and experiences that we've dealt with. And just like how our lives haven't followed the paths that we had planned, neither will our healing journeys. You are still the pilot of your healing journey and always will be.

You are not a failure.

You will not quit.

You were meant to be thrown off this track so you can be redirected to your destiny.
