BREAKING FREE (3)
Dear Soul Sister,
We’re back for another week of exploring breaking free, and this time, we’re getting personal. Let’s talk about what happens when you start breaking free; because spoiler alert: it’s not always smooth sailing. But let me tell you something right now: every step is worth it.
When you decide to step into your power and let go of what’s been holding you back, life will test you. Old habits, people, and situations may resurface, trying to pull you back into the comfort zone you’ve just started leaving behind. Why? Because change can feel scary…even when it’s good for us.
When I first set boundaries in a relationship that had been draining me for years, it felt amazing to stand up for myself. But then, the doubts crept in. Was I too harsh? What if they don’t understand? Breaking free required me to hold firm, even when it felt uncomfortable. And guess what? It was the best thing I ever did for myself.
If you’re feeling those growing pains, know that it’s a normal part of the process. Here are a few things you might experience, and how to navigate them:
1. Resistance from Others
Not everyone will understand your journey, and that’s okay. People who benefit from your old patterns might push back when you start changing. YOU ARE NOT responsible for their reactions.
What to Do: Hold firm to your boundaries. Surround yourself with people who celebrate your growth, not those who resist it.
2. Doubts and Fears
Your mind might try to convince you to stay in your comfort zone. Thoughts like, What if I fail? or, What if I’m not ready? are common. Fear is just a sign you’re doing something brave.
What to Do: Acknowledge the fear, then DO IT anyway. Remind yourself of all the reasons you started this journey.
3. Unexpected Opportunities
When you let go of what’s not serving you, you make room for new possibilities. Stay open to the surprises life has in store for you.
What to Do: Say yes to opportunities that align with your values and vision. Trust that you’re being guided toward something better.
So, this week, take a moment to journal on this question:
What’s one area of your life where you’re feeling resistance, and what small step can you take to break free?
