Sometimes the hardest part of changing isn’t the change… it’s the people who feel threatened by it.
It’s hard to comprehend why someone wouldn’t want you to do better, be better, feel better. But when they snipe, minimise you, or try to pull you back into old habits, it says far more about them than it ever does about you.
Because your growth can make people uncomfortable 🤷🏼♀️
It can feel uncomfortable for them when you say:
• “No thanks, I’m not drinking.”
• “I don’t want to eat that anymore.”
• “I’m choosing what’s good for me.”
• “I’d rather meditate or read than binge watch.”
• “I’m turning off the news.”
• “I’m not available for that dynamic.”
Not because you’re judging them, but because your choices quietly hold up a mirror. And some people would rather pull you back into the familiar than look at themselves.
So if you’re changing your patterns, protecting your peace, and choosing healthier ways to live, let the discomfort be theirs. You don’t have to shrink to make anyone else feel safe.
Protect your healing. Keep your boundaries. Keep choosing better. Stay in your own lane🤍
What’s one small choice you’re making lately that’s helping you feel healthier, safer, calmer ?
