Discomfort often means change is coming.
Deeper insight
Growth rarely feels good while it’s happening. Saying no, setting a boundary, asking for help or breaking a habit can all feel wrong at first, simply because they’re new. That discomfort isn’t a sign you’re doing it wrong. Often it’s a sign you’re doing something different.

Addiction Recovery
You can’t go back and change the start, but you can change the ending.
Deeper insight
