4 Weeks of Healing: Progress Over Perfection

Transparency time — nobody really talks about the mental effect surgery can have on you… but whewwwww, let me tell you, I’ve been going through it. These past four weeks have tested me in ways I didn’t expect. Physically, yes, I’ve been healing, but mentally? That’s been a whole different journey. This surgery took a real toll on my mind, but it also gave me space space to sit still, to reflect, and to look at my life with fresh eyes. What I’m learning is this: healing isn’t just about how your body feels it’s about what your spirit endures, what your mind releases, and what your heart rediscovers. I’m reminding myself daily progress over perfection.

If I’m honest, my mind is racing right now. There’s so much I need to do, and I’m preparing to go back to work soon. It’s overwhelming at times, and I don’t have it all together. I don’t have a fancy picture to post this week, but I do have something meaningful — my current phone screensaver. It’s my daily reminder that even in the midst of chaos, confusion, and tears…

KEEP GOING.

Healing isn’t linear, and it definitely isn’t perfect, but I’m choosing to show up for myself, one day at a time.
