🪑 Sit With It: Healing Happens by Feeling 🪑

 

Life is messy. Pain is messy. And our first instinct? Run. Distract. Numb it.

We drink it away, smoke it away, sleep it away, eat it away, scroll it away… anything to avoid feeling.

But here’s the thing: healing doesn’t happen in avoidance.
It happens when you sit with the discomfort, when you lean into the ache, when you allow yourself to feel — fully, unfiltered, honestly.

Sitting with it doesn’t mean you like it.
It doesn’t mean you’re weak.
It means you’re strong enough to face reality, smart enough to learn from it, and brave enough to let it transform you.

Feeling your pain is how you:

• Understand your triggers

• Release what no longer serves you

• Break unhealthy patterns

• Grow into a stronger, wiser version of yourself

And the slightly savage truth?
Avoiding your feelings just prolongs the chaos.
You can’t escape growth — it’s waiting in the very feelings you’re tempted to ignore.

So take a seat. Breathe. Cry. Rage. Meditate. Journal. Just… sit with it.
The magic isn’t in running. The magic is in feeling, healing, and finally letting go.

Because your best self isn’t found in avoidance.
It’s found in courage, presence, and the patience to sit with your own life.
