"Sometimes I forget how simple it really is. Not easy, but simple.
If you want to feel better, start by feeling better.
Not pretending, not forcing yourself to smile, not bypassing what’s really there, but actually feeling. That’s the gateway. Into the body, into the emotion, into the ache behind the mask. Because every emotion is just energy in motion: something that got stuck, held back, stuffed down in a moment when it didn’t feel safe to be seen. And it’s still there, buried in the tissue of your body, waiting. Not to be fixed or judged or solved, but to be felt fully. To be held by you.
The truth is, you can say all the right things. You can master the positive affirmations, change the philosophy, explain the trauma, understand the patterns, and still feel stuck. Because the subconscious mind doesn’t speak the language of thoughts. Neither does the nervous system. They respond to sensation. They change through experience. So while your conscious mind might be on board with healing, the part of you that’s actually steering the ship—the body, the emotional memory, the felt sense of who you believe you are—that part needs to feel something new. And when you finally sit down and let the sadness move through your chest, or let the tight ball of fear in your stomach be seen, or the shame in your throat be heard, something incredible happens. It starts to dissolve. Slowly, tenderly. And your nervous system, almost like a small child, begins to whisper, “Wait… I’m safe now.”
That’s where real transformation begins. Not in the moment you figure it out, but in the moment your body knows. Knows it’s okay to breathe again. Knows it’s not in danger. Knows it doesn’t have to keep running from a pain that already happened. And when that knowing drops in—not just mentally, but somatically—it’s like the entire internal architecture of who you thought you had to be starts to soften. And underneath the coping and the defense mechanisms and the overthinking, you find something that was never broken: your wholeness. That calm, grounded center that was always there, just obscured by the clouds of unworthiness and fear.
So maybe the work isn’t to try harder or get smarter or think our way out. Maybe it’s to feel our way through. To sit with the parts of us we’ve abandoned. To love the child inside who never got held when they needed it most. To give them, now, the space to cry, to breathe, to be angry, to rest. And maybe, just maybe, that’s what healing really is. The return to presence. To love. To the body. To truth. Less thinking, more feeling. That’s how we start to feel better (by feeling better). Not later. Now." - Logan Barone
