Saturday Morning Mindset: You're Not Failing, Healing is Just Messy

Healing is messy, there’s no smoother or prettier way to say it.
When you begin your healing journey, it can feel like everything suddenly turns against you. Life starts throwing challenges your way, emotions intensify, and old patterns come crashing to the surface. Even though things weren’t perfect before, it feels like they were compared to what you’re facing now.

It often feels like standing inside a tornado.
In the center, there’s a strange sense of calm, but once the tornado passes, you’re left staring at the destruction it left behind. The memories, the emotions, the realizations—they’re scattered everywhere, and now you’re left with the overwhelming task of cleaning it all up. You don’t know where to start. It’s chaotic. It’s exhausting. It’s messy.

But here’s the truth:
Going back to how things were before you started healing won’t make anything better. Don’t forget where you came from. The pain, the patterns, the overwhelm you lived with—those things didn’t disappear. Healing just exposed them so you can finally deal with them.

Anything meaningful in life is messy and difficult.
Healing is no different. The messiness is not a sign you’re failing, it’s a sign you’re doing the work. And this is where you face a defining moment:

You must choose your difficult.

Staying the same is difficult.
Healing is difficult.
But only one of those paths leads somewhere better.

Keep going. The mess means you’re moving forward.

Stay positive and take action!
