When Life Contracts Before It Expands - the Moment most people turn back
If you’re feeling heaviness —
more doubt, fear, pressure, frustration, pain —
like things aren’t moving,
like there’s an invisible wall in your way…
You’re exactly where you’re meant to be.
Hear me out.
Lately, my body has been aching.
My sleep is off.
My head is buzzing.
And there’s no external stressor I could point to.
If I hadn’t learned to understand my body —
my default reactions, my instincts, my triggers —
I would have assumed something was wrong.
That this was a sign something bad was coming.
But I know better now.
This isn’t regression.
It’s expansion.
My body is doing exactly what it’s designed to do when the comfort zone stretches — it resists. It tightens. It gets uncomfortable.
This is the moment most people turn back.
They think they need to do more.
Fix something.
Change direction.
Or they decide they’re just unlucky — and give up.
Often, right before the shift happens.
Life doesn’t move in a straight line.
It moves in cycles.
We focus.
We build momentum.
We give energy.
And then — we hit contraction.
That’s not failure.
That’s the pause.
You’ve done enough.
Now you let nature do its part.
The work here is learning how to ride the wave —
not fight it.
I’ve lived this pattern many times.
Not knowing what was happening, I used to pull away, abandon the process, and start over.
So much energy wasted.
Now I move through these phases differently.
I don’t resist.
So the discomfort doesn’t escalate.
It stays steady.
And then it passes.
And I’m on the other side.
It doesn’t matter what you’re calling in —
life works this way every time.
If this resonates, “The Present Moment Truth” is where this work begins.
Paired with my content here, you’ll start relating to these moments — and your life — very differently.
The darkness isn’t a mistake.
It’s a natural part of being alive.
You can’t control it away.
But you can learn how to meet it —
and that’s how you become the conscious creator of your life.
Love & Light
