Pressure Isn’t Punishment — It’s Expansion
Lately, I’ve been feeling the weight.
Payroll. Responsibility. People leaning on me so hard it feels like I can’t breathe.
I work 60 hours a week.
I’m tired.
And I can feel the pressure around my neck.
But here’s what I’m realizing:
Pressure isn’t always a sign that I’m failing.
Sometimes pressure is a sign that something has to adjust.
That I can’t keep dragging everyone with me while I’m trying to walk through the door of freedom.
Some people aren’t walking beside me…
They’re hanging off me.
Pulling at me like dead weight around the edge of the deck, dragging me underwater.
And it hurts because I care.
Because I worry about consequences.
Because part of me believes I need them.
But release works like this:
It’s like giving away an old piece of clothing to Goodwill.
It’s not punishment.
It’s not loss.
It’s making room.
When you clear out what no longer fits, your closet opens for a fresh wardrobe.
What I release is what allows more.
More ease.
More alignment.
More freedom.
More strength.
More space to breathe.
And I’m starting to ask myself:
Will my fears keep me stuck…
Or will I finally let go of what’s too heavy to carry into my next chapter?
Not everyone is meant to come with you.
Expansion requires release.
And freedom requires firmness.
Journal Questions
- What feels like “dead weight” in my life right now?
- Where am I carrying people out of fear instead of alignment?
- What would open up if I released what no longer fits?
- What am I afraid will happen if I choose freedom?
- What kind of support do I actually need moving forward?
Invitation-
If this resonates, I’d love to hear from you:
What are you being asked to release right now… so you can expand?
Drop a word, a truth, or even just “me too” below.
You’re not alone in this doorway.
Stay warm!
