While we are on our healing journey, doing the right thing for us is most terrifying. We contemplate, agonize, stress, and spend anyway we can to keep from moving forward in our healing journey. After all we are familiar with our old life, our old choices and the old results. We know that if we make "X" decision, we automatically know what the outcome will be.
But during our healing journey, we are on a different path. It is a path that we are taking where when we make decisions, we have no idea what the outcome will be. And not knowing the outcome is most terrifying and scary. Many thoughts roam our mind: "Will it be like before?" "Will someone hurt me if I decide this?" "Will I be able to keep on moving forward if I make this decision?"
All these questions are normal to have and normal to feel. We ask these questions because we are learning to trust ourselves and our decisions. We lean on positive, supporting and caring people that we trust to gain information from before we make our decision. After all, the positive ones have "been there and done that" and know what the outcome will be. It is us that don't know.
So we take a chance once more, gathering every bit of strength that we have within ourselves and make our decision and are okay with that decision. Why? Because we are making decisions to better ourselves and heal ourselves and learning to be okay with what we decide. -- Peri
