I saw this chart the other day and felt it was a powerful depiction of the accountability loop versus the victim loop. Awareness is powerful, and itās the first step to healing the patterns that hold us back in life, but itās not the finish line. Authentic healing asks us to take action with what weāve uncovered.
I see so many people gain beautiful insight and experience meaningful breakthroughs, then find themselves looping back into familiar patterns because the next step feels uncomfortable, unfamiliar, or scary. This is a very common part of the healing journey, and itās often where momentum slows and people begin to feel disconnected from the progress theyāve already made.
Healing isnāt about being hard on ourselves, but it does require honesty around how weāre showing up. Itās about choosing small, aligned actions that support who weāre becoming, and continuing to choose them with consistency and compassion.
Awareness opens the door, but action is what creates change. If youāre feeling stuck right now, let this be a loving reminder that you hold the key.
One small step still matters. Keep going. š«¶āØ
