That Knot in Your Stomach: It's Time.
My Dearest Humans,
Today, I want to talk about something heavy, something real. Something that, if you're like me, you might be trying to push to the back of your mind. But it deserves our attention, yours and mine.
We all have them, don't we? Those big, looming decisions that feel less like choices and more like a tightrope walk over a chasm. The ones that trigger a visceral reaction – that knot in your stomach, the weight on your shoulders, the almost physical dread that settles in.
Maybe it's the slow, painful realization that a relationship, a connection you've held dear, has run its course. The thought of that difficult conversation, of saying the words that will change everything, feels unbearable.
Or perhaps it’s that nagging whisper of worry about your health, the persistent feeling that something isn't quite right. And you know, deep down, that postponing that doctor's appointment any longer isn't an option.
Maybe, it's the even bigger, more daunting step: a major life change. A career shift, a move, a complete transformation that you know, with a certainty that both excites and terrifies you, is necessary for your growth.
I get it. I truly do. That feeling of being trapped, of being caught between a rock and a hard place. The fear is overwhelming. It can feel like you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders.
But here's what I want you to know, what I need you to hear: You are stronger than you think.
You have the inherent strength, the resilience, the courage to face this challenge. You must face it. Your well-being, your peace of mind, your very essence demands it.
I know it doesn't feel like it right now. The fear can be blinding. But you are capable. More capable than you currently believe. Your worth is undeniable, your value immeasurable.
Think about it. Think about the times you've faced hard things before, the moments you've surprised yourself with your strength. You’ve overcome challenges, navigated difficult situations, and emerged stronger on the other side. You have that same strength within you now.
This decision, this step, it's about choosing yourself. Choosing your growth, your happiness, your future.
It's about acknowledging that the discomfort, the fear, is a sign that you're on the verge of something significant. Something that will allow you to step into a more authentic, more fulfilled version of yourself.
Embrace that truth. Hold it firmly in your heart.
And today, take a deep breath. Take that first step, however small. Make that call, write that email, have that conversation. You are worthy of your own courage. You are worthy of your own happiness.
You've got this. And I'm here, believing in you, every step of the way.
