The Quiet Cost of Denial
Affirmation: I honor the signs. I release the excuses. I choose truth, even when it’s inconvenient.
We heal when we stop avoiding the signs. Not just the ones that whisper discomfort, but the ones that scream danger.
Not just the physical aches, but the quiet erosion of self-trust. Healing, for me, is not just about the body.
It’s about how I feel about myself when no one is watching. It’s about the choices I make when I want to win more than I want to be well. There are times I’ve wanted to win so badly—
to prove I’m worthy, capable, right—
that I’ve justified what I knew, deep down, was misaligned.
I’ve ignored the nudge. I’ve overridden my intuition. I’ve dressed up excuses as discernment.
I’ve even reached for spiritual platitudes to soothe the sting:
“All is well.”
“I saw a sign.”
“I’m on the right path.”
But Life, in her infinite grace, doesn’t let me get away with that for long. She loves me too much. She nudges. She whispers. She roars. She gets my attention in any way possible.
And it’s up to me to listen. Today, I’m asking myself—
What am I avoiding?
What am I denying?
What am I justifying in the name of ambition, validation, or fear?
Because healing asks for honesty. It asks for pause. It asks for the courage to say,
“This isn’t working.” “This isn’t true.”
“This isn’t me.” And when I stop running from the signs,
when I stop spiritualizing my discomfort, when I stop pretending that misalignment is a test I must pass—
I begin to heal.
Not perfectly. Not instantly.
But deeply.
Peace and Blessings
