A Healing Crisis
I'm all for clearing emotional & physical baggage. And seasonal cleanses. And I think the world should take a week out of every year to juice. And for the love of God, some time off work to care for oneself when we're not sick would revolutionize the human spirit and thus, healthcare. But this pep talk isn't about changing the system, this is about things getting worse before they get better.
Allergies flairing up?
Feeling sluggish?
Shooting people down with your words & judgments?
Skin breaking out?
Constipation?
Throwing pity parties?
These are signs that it's time to re-prioritize our aches, pains & attitudes. Clean out the old shit (no pun intended). Push yourself to change your diet and lifestyle. Give your body a good flush. Tell fear to screw off. Let the anger go. Show up for yourself.

But, here's what most people don't tell you when you go to do stuff this good for yourself. Sometimes it has to get worse before it gets better. This is called a 'healing crisis'. When you approach a situation where your aim is to be the best version of yourself - you stir the pot. You shake things up. You uproot deep-seated stuff. You clean house.
Physically speaking, toxic residues that have been retained in the body are shaken up and are on the move looking for a way out. This can create various symptoms like fatigue, headaches and skin breakouts. The work you're doing stimulates the body to clean itself out. When you see these kind of symptoms, as painful and obnoxious as they may be, it's a sign that the toxins are leaving your body. You're creating new space. Where space is created in the body, health flows in. Every cell in your body will be rejuvenated.
Illumination, ecstasy and insight are waiting for you on the other side. And the angel of your strength is there waiting, smiling, applauding, with a champagne glass of endorphins for you.

"When you transcend circumstances you get special privileges. Like the deep knowing that life wants you to win, evidence that you are indeed amazing, and irrefutable proof that your mind chooses what matters." - Danielle LaPorte
Decide to rise to the occasion knowing that sometimes things just get worse before they get better.
