💫 🏔️ Friday Fact 🏔️ 💫
Wanting things to be different and being ready to be different are not always the same thing.”
This shows up more often than people realize.
⭐️ Sometimes we desperately want our anxiety lower, our relationships healthier, our habits different… but we aren’t quite ready to face what change asks of us.
⭐️ And sometimes, we want someone else to change like our partner, child, friend, coworker while feeling frustrated, hurt, or exhausted that they aren’t ready, willing, or able to do the work.
😬 The hard truth? Change cannot be forced.
Growth often requires honesty, discomfort, accountability, letting go of familiar patterns, and choosing something new… even when the old way feels safer.
👉🏼 Wanting change is a start. Readiness is another step entirely.
🦋And sometimes therapy becomes the space where people explore the gap between the two.
