The new year is already underway, and this year some have decided to release the old patterns that keep them stuck. Many people do years of self work and still feel stuck in the same old emotional cycle they are so wanting to break.
You read. You reflect. You try to respond differently. Yet you find yourself drawn to the same types of romantic partners and asking yourself why this keeps happening.
Over time, that can feel discouraging. You start to question yourself and even the work you have done. You may quietly ask, when is it my turn.
Most repeated emotional patterns begin in a nervous system that learned long ago how to stay safe. Those patterns once helped you cope. Now they are often the very thing holding you in place.
Understanding the pattern helps. But change does not happen until your body begins to experience safety. You cannot think your way out of something your body learned through experience.
If you feel tired of feeling stuck, pay attention to that moment. That is often the first honest signal that something deeper is ready to shift.
For me, the new year is not about resolutions that fade after a few weeks. It is about knowing you matter, your needs count, and change is possible when you choose to work at the level where patterns live.
If this resonates, share it with someone who might need to hear it, or leave a comment.

Your relationship with yourself shapes every other relationship you have.
