Healing doesn’t follow your timeline

Healing doesn’t follow your timeline. It follows your body’s readiness.

And your body won’t release what it still doesn’t feel safe to let go of.

That’s not resistance, that’s protection. It’s your body saying, “I’m not ready yet, but I’m getting there.”

You know your body feels safe to let go when it starts doing this — releasing old emotions, softening in the places that used to stay tense, and allowing you to feel what you once avoided.

👉🏾Save this post as a reminder to give yourself grace whenever you feel you should be “over it” by now.

👉🏾Tag someone who needs this reminder today.

Healing Doesn’t Mean Forgetting!
