A short talk on why actions to leave toxic relationships or habits can feel wrong, explaining how the body and brain react and urging persistence as growth and healing feel uncomfortable.
When you're breaking out of a toxic relationship or a habit, there will be parts of your brain that are firing off. Your body will fire off in really intense ways. But just because something feels wrong doesn't mean that it is. Stay the course. It's like building a new muscle.
Like you're betraying yourself, betraying that person. Your body will fire off in really intense ways. But I want to remind you that just because something feels wrong doesn't mean that it is. When you are breaking out of a toxic pattern, when you're breaking out of a toxic relationship or a habit, there will be parts of your brain that are firing off and saying, no, no, no, this is not okay. You've got to do the things that we've been doing. Even though those things were also really toxic for you.
You've got to keep doing those. You don't. Right? So I just want to remind you that when you're growing, when you're healing, when you're changing, when you are stepping into a new part of yourself, it is going to be uncomfortable. It is going to feel really awful. But stay the course. It's like building a new muscle. You go into a workout program and you're like, oh, my gosh, I'm so sore. Why am I doing this to myself? You're doing that because you know that if you stay consistent, it's going to be so much better and you're going to be stronger.
So if you find yourself in the middle of a situation where that's happening and you've been doubting and your body is firing off and you're feeling anxious and you're feeling worried, it's okay, all right? You're doing the right thing. What we feel is always real and always valid, but not always true and not always a sign to retreat, all right?
