There is a version of you that used to survive by disconnecting. By pushing through. By ignoring what it cost you just to keep going.
Now you are choosing something different. You are choosing to stay with yourself while you grow. To notice when you are tired. To honor when something hurts. To pause instead of override.
That shift can feel slow. It can feel unfamiliar. But it builds a life that does not require you to disappear in order to succeed.
Growth that includes you will always feel steadier than growth that sacrifices you.
