How to Do Healing Work and Enjoy Life

Healing is often seen as a serious, introspective process, but it doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice joy along the way. In fact, healing and enjoying life can go hand-in-hand. The misconception that healing has to be painful or draining is what keeps many people from fully embracing the process. True healing liberates you and opens the door to more joy, peace, and fulfillment. Here’s how you can do the work while still savoring the beauty of life.

Step One: Accept the Process, Embrace the Journey

Healing isn’t linear. There are going to be ups and downs, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the moments in between. The key is accepting where you are in your journey. Sometimes you’ll make progress, and sometimes you’ll feel stuck. But each step forward or backward is still part of the healing process. The more you resist it, the harder it becomes. So, embrace where you are and recognize that healing isn’t separate from your life; it’s woven into the fabric of it. You can heal and still laugh, still find joy, still experience pleasure.

What To Do if You Feel "Stuck"

When you feel stuck, your mind and body tell you that something needs to change. Change can be subtle. Change can be drastic. It depends on where you want to go and how much this “stuck” feeling is bothering you. Personally, I hate feeling stuck, so when I feel it, I choose to be more aggressive toward “fixing it.” Some people patiently sit back and allow it to pass. There is power in being patient. There is power in being aggressive. Use your discernment.

A Prayer For When You Feel Stuck
A Prayer For When You Feel Stuck

A prayer for when you feel stuck. Dear God,

I’m feeling stuck right now, and this stuckness is causing me to feel a multitude of emotions.

I know I should trust your plan, but it’s hard when I can’t see it clearly. I know I’m supposed to rest in the fact that you’re guiding me, but what if I have doubts? What if it feels like you’re distant? And honestly, what if I’m afraid to fully trust you when it matters most?

Some days, I feel confident, like I’ve got everything under control. On those days, it’s easy to think I don’t need you. But then there are days when everything feels chaotic, and I’m left confused and frustrated like I’m just spinning my wheels and getting nowhere. That’s where I am right now.

I’m unsure of what to do next, who I’m becoming, or where my path leads.

When you have hit bottom, trust, you can recover and bounce back 🥋

When you hit the bottom, that’s when you find out who you are. It's in those moments of darkness and despair that your true strength and resilience emerge. Remember, you are not alone in facing rock bottom; many have stood where you stand now. I am experiencing a bottom that I have not felt in a long time, but my energy is high, my mind is sharp, and I am not “worried” about the bottom.

How To Stop People-Pleasing: Say No To Violating Your Own Voice
How To Stop People-Pleasing: Say No To Violating Your Own Voice

People-pleasing is a severe problem. People-pleasing (which is a boundary violation of the self) is a direct consequence of dismissing your voice. It results in us entering situations on eggshells; it creates stress and anxiety. It makes worry and conflict. Nothing good comes from people-pleasing, and to be clear, it is not the same as serving and giving. The most significant difference is that people-pleasing comes with extreme inner-conflict, whereas serving and helping another doesn't exist with that inner resistance.
