I was doing everything right… but missing this!
I hit a wall this past week. My weight kept going up and down just a tiny bit, or not moving at all, and I couldn’t figure out why. After talking with Dr. Golman, we realized something I didn’t even see. I tend to stay positive, avoid conflict, and try to be a light for others. But in doing that, I was quietly pushing down some stress and emotions without realizing it. I’ve learned how to sit with emotions when they come up, but this was different. There were things under the surface that I hadn’t acknowledged yet. After that conversation, I took time to really feel it, process it, and let it move through me. The very next day, I dropped .6. That was a HUGE moment for me. Not just because of the number, but because it showed me how connected everything is. Being AWARE of our emotions and stress, and allowing ourselves to actually feel them instead of pushing them down, matters more than we think. If you feel stuck, it might not be your effort. It might be something deeper that just needs your attention. We've got this!
