Today I want to talk about the journey to becoming a better me. This is such a powerful and beautiful thing. Learning to embrace life, reframe the pain, and find a new you. Nothing feels better than shedding the old version of yourself so you can fully find out the best version of you.
I am three years into my recovery journey now. The amount of time under my belt has provided a crucial understanding that has shifted my perspective. Only in the last years have I begun to truly embrace that this path isn't about reaching a destination, but rather an ongoing process. Recovery, healing, and the pursuit of thriving are not endpoints, but continuous movement, inviting growth and new learning. Honestly, I wish this realization had resonated with me earlier in my journey. Had I understood then that personal transformation is continuous, I believe I would have navigated many of the significant changes and unexpected challenges with far less internal resistance. Instead of striving for a 'fixed' state, I would have been better prepared to embrace personal change, accepting setbacks as part of growth and self-discovery. This new knowledge serves as a foundation, allowing me to approach each new day as another chapter in my story.
Overall, I finally learned to stop living for others. The mold I tried to fit was just the shell of who I really was. It is scary to change and embrace that change. All I know now is you have to live for you, always embracing the good and the bad parts of yourself. If you can learn to do this, you will feel like a whole new version of yourself. If you are anything like me, the changes have been immeasurable with profound impact on the way I see, embrace, and live my life in recovery.
As always, remember you matter and you are worth it.
