When the Healing Journey Feels Overwhelming: 5 Ways to Find Your Centre

You’ve been doing the work.
You’ve cried the tears, journaled the triggers, tracked the moon phases, pulled the cards, read the books, and sat with your shadows more times than you can count.
And yet... you still feel like you’re in it.
Still uncovering.
Still shedding.
Still spiralling through emotions that were meant to be “healed” by now.
You’re tired.
Frustrated.
Done with it.
You find yourself thinking:
“Surely by now, I should be over this.”“When will the pain end?”“Why does healing feel like an endless loop?”
If this is you — take a breath. You’re not doing anything wrong.
You're simply deep in the sacred spiral.
The truth that most people don’t want to admit is this:
Healing isn’t a checkbox. It’s a consciousness.
And when you feel overwhelmed by it all, the invitation isn’t to give up — it’s to come back to your centre.
Below are 5 powerful ways to help you do exactly that.
1. Stop Trying to Graduate from Your Healing
I say this to clients often — gently, but truthfully:
“There is no finish line for awakening. There’s only embodiment.”
Healing doesn’t mean you’ll never feel hurt again. It doesn’t mean you’ll never be triggered or doubt or fall to your knees in exhaustion.
Healing means that when those moments happen, you don’t abandon yourself anymore.
You don’t spiral into the story of “What’s wrong with me?”
You don’t chase the person who won’t choose you.
You don’t ignore the whispers of your soul just to keep the peace.
Healing means you pause. Breathe. Listen. Choose again.
You're not here to fix yourself. You're here to become yourself.
When you surrender to that, the pressure begins to lift.
For specialised holistic guidance with this, my Emotional Wellness Workbook Bundle can assist you enhancing your self-awareness, aligning with you true self and cultivating emotional resilience.
2. Accept That Some Cycles Are Long (Because They’re Sacred)
“But I’ve been working on this for years! When will it end?”
I hear this all the time. And the honest answer?
When you stop resisting it.
Some lessons are layered.
Some wounds are ancestral.
Some cycles are karmic and must be felt across lifetimes to complete.
But the more you resist — the more you demand timelines, demand outcomes, demand it be over now — the more you suffer.
I say this over and over again:
You’re not being punished. You’re being initiated.
And the sooner you accept that your soul chose this path for a reason, the more power you’ll reclaim.
This is the cost of being a generational cycle-breaker. A light-bringer. A healer.
It’s not always glamorous — but it is holy.
3. Shift from Victim Consciousness to Creator Consciousness
You cannot embody Christ consciousness and victim consciousness at the same time.
You’re either the creator of your reality — or a prisoner of your past.
And yes, that might sting. Especially when life feels unfair, heavy, or just plain exhausting.
But the truth is: the version of you who’s healed… doesn’t wait to feel healed.
They align. They decide. They act accordingly.
They rest when needed — not because they’re escaping, but because they’re integrating.
They speak life over her body. Their mind. Their day.
They don’t need proof that change is coming — they become the change first.
If you’re waiting for external validation, for the relationship to get better, the job to feel aligned, the money to arrive, the trigger to disappear — you're looking in the wrong place.
Healing starts within. Everything else follows.
If you need help shifting out of old beliefs and activating the energy of your higher self, the New Year Makeover Workbook well help you identify things to release, things to cultivate and how to map out the internal change in your daily life.
If you require support in realigning your mindset, the Reframe, Reclaim & Align Workbook Bundle is a powerful support tool that will help you get unstuck and back into flow.
4. Reignite Your Why
When the journey feels long, it’s easy to forget why you started.
Reconnect with your why:
Are you healing so your future children don’t inherit your pain?
Are you awakening to finally embody the version of yourself that you dreamed of as a little girl?
Are you walking this path to guide others, lead others, liberate others?
You’re not here to live a normal life. You’re here to live an aligned one.
You didn’t choose this work because it was easy. You chose it because your soul remembers how powerful it is.
Come back to that.
Let it reignite your fire.

5. Anchor into Soul-Led Self-Care
Not the kind of self-care that numbs you. Not the kind that sells you candles while ignoring your core wounds.
We’re talking about sacred, soul-nourishing self-care:
Speaking your truth even when it shakes.
Taking a walk without your phone so your soul can speak.
Turning down the invitation that doesn’t align — even if it disappoints others.
Creating space to cry, pray, scream, or just be without guilt.
Journaling not to fix yourself — but to finally hear yourself.
Healing isn’t just about the deep dives — it’s about the everyday choices that honour your energy.
Start there.
Final Thoughts: You’re Closer Than You Think
You don’t have to “do more” to heal.
You just need to come back to yourself.
And remember:
You’re not behind.
You’re not broken.
You’re not failing.
You’re transforming.
And the more you trust the process — the more peace you’ll feel.
So if you’re feeling fed up, burnt out, and so done with the inner work… pause.
Take a breath.
And let these words sink in:
“You didn’t come this far just to come this far. You came to become everything your past self never thought was possible.”
You’ve got this.
And you’re not alone.
