Is your healing journey disempowering you?

The why behind your choice to heal is almost as important as the healing itself. Because the why sets the tone. Sets the foundation for what’s to come. Anything that comes after that intention will follow suit.

For years I was healing to fix. Healing to protect. Healing to remove things I didn’t like. Healing to stop the pain. Healing to bypass the reality of my life. I wanted the promises that the wellness communities and spiritual spaces promised. I wanted the light. I wanted the relief.

But at what cost?

One of the first things I learned as a coach was about intention setting. This simple technique has shown me that anything can be used for anything. Said differently anything can be used for your expansion or weaponized to keep you stuck. Unless you have intentionality that is rooted in your own empowerment, it will simply re-inforce the same imprints that already exist.

If by default you operate out of self-protection and you do not take the time to discern that motivation, you will end up with self-protection again and again, no matter how profound the model, modality, tool. So, if you don’t want self-protection, then you must decide what you DO want.

The why is THE thing. Everything flows from that.

I have found that when I do things out of a fix and protect approach (intention), I ended up right back where I started. Every. Single. Time. But when I learned to dig into my inner empowered motivation, then my intention and my outcomes started to change. So, what flavor of intentions are setting the tone for your journey? Are they empowering or are they perpetuating old patterns and actually just looping you back to where you started and keeping you stuck?

I’d love to hear your intentions and how they are empowering you. XO
