I used to CONSTANTLY ask myself why.
Why did this happen? Why did they do that? Why did I have to go through this? What was I supposed to learn?
A good friend once told me, “Michelle, not everything has to have a deep meaning or reason, sometimes things just ARE”.
That was SO hard for my brain to accept because I thought understanding everything would finally give me peace.
Eventually I realized that sometimes searching for the reason was the very thing keeping me stuck in it.
So now, instead of obsessing over WHY, I ask:
❤️ What am I feeling?
⛓️ What am I resisting?
🎒 What am I still carrying?
❓ What does my body need from me right now?
Because your feelings are part of your health too.
We talk so much about protein, calories, supplements, workouts and ingredients… while carrying years of grief, anger, guilt, resentment, disappointment and pressure like none of it affects the body.
Think about digestion…. you can eat the most delicious meal in the world, but if your body can’t properly process it, you’re going to feel it.
Life can be the same way.
Something happens, your body responds, an emotion comes up… and when we never let ourselves feel it, express it or move through it, we can keep carrying it long after the moment has passed.
Healing isn’t always figuring out the WHY.
Sometimes it sounds like:
“This hurt”
“I wish it had been different”
“I’m angry”
“I’m disappointed”
“I don’t understand it” and still being able to say:
“It happened. I’m here and I don’t have to keep fighting reality to move forward.”
Peace isn’t found in understanding everything but in realizing you don’t have to.
What are you still trying to find a “why” for that your heart might be ready to put down? ❤️
