When You’re Tired of Healing
There comes a point where healing doesn’t feel empowering—it feels exhausting.
You’ve read the books. Felt the feelings. Practiced the pauses.
But somehow, the weight of becoming never lets up.
And it’s okay to say, “I’m tired.”
💬 “Even healing needs rest.”
Today’s Reflection Question
Have I been pushing myself to be okay, instead of simply allowing myself to be?
My Journal
Today, I cried—not because something bad happened, but because I’m just tired of healing.
Tired of always analyzing my emotions.
Tired of searching for lessons in every setback.
Tired of pretending that growth always feels good.
I thought healing would feel like progress, but lately it feels like pressure.
Like a checklist I’m failing.
But maybe healing isn’t about effort right now. Maybe it’s about exhaling.
And letting myself rest—even in the middle of the process.
Some days I feel like I’ve come so far.
Other days, I feel like I’m starting over.
But I’m learning that healing isn’t linear—it’s sacredly human.
And today, I choose to be gentle with the girl who’s tired but still trying.
Healing requires energy. Emotional energy. Mental space. And when you’ve been holding pain for too long, that effort drains you.
So when you’re tired of healing, maybe the most healing thing you can do… is stop.
Pause. Sip something warm. Look out the window. And remember: you don’t need to “perform” recovery.
🌿 A Grounding Tip
Do nothing for 10 minutes.
Not as a reward, but as a ritual.
Let stillness become your act of self-respect.
🕊 A Line to Remember
It’s okay to pause. Healing isn’t a race—it’s a return.
