Healing Doesn’t Mean Perfection

By Isabel Wells

Healing isn’t perfect—it’s messy, confusing, and often doesn’t go as planned. But that imperfection is where the beauty, joy, and hope shine through. This is your journey- it's time to claim your worthiness to walk it.

Healing isn’t perfect.

It isn’t possible to heal perfectly. Healing can be messy, and complicated, and confusing, and layered. It isn’t a hike you can carefully plan. It’s a safari where your tour guide seems to have forgotten you and all you have is your emergency kit and your survival skills to keep you moving forward.

But you’ll do just fine.

Because your healing journey is just that- yours. No one else could survive this particular safari, in this particular way, because it’s your safari.

There are a million ways you could get back to base, and only one way you will actually get there. It isn’t about finding the best way, because it doesn’t exist. It’s about doing it in spite of the fact that it doesn’t exist.

Don’t try to do it perfectly. You never will. You will always find some flaw with how you do this part of your life, that’s just our nature. You’ll never do it ‘right’, because ‘right’ doesn’t exist.

You can, however, give yourself the space to do it wrong. You can give yourself the space to embrace all of the messy, all of the complicated, all of the confusing. You can give yourself permission to get lost in it for a while. You can take breaks when you need to, plow forward when you can.

Your healing isn’t going anywhere. Neither are your problems. So you can take your time. It isn’t like you’ll miss the train- you’re already on it. It’s already moving, whether you are sleeping, or working, or trying, or failing. You are already healing.

It’s going to happen one way or another. Because that’s our nature, too.

So give yourself permission to take it one step at a time. To let it be imperfect. Give up on the idea of healing the ‘right’ way, and just let yourself heal any way you damn well can, because this is your journey, and it’s not going to leave you behind.

That little voice inside of you asking you to be gentle, easy and kind?

That’s the voice who knows that in the midst of the confusing, complicated, layered mess of healing, there is also beauty. And hope. And trust. And joy.

That’s the voice you trust, because it is the voice that’s going to guide you Home.

And if you need a guide on that journey, we’re here for you. Whether that’s through a message to say hello, a 1:1 session, or a space in our Soul Rising course, we’re here to guide you on your path back Home.

Because the Truth is…. home is already within you. You’re already there. The journey is allowing yourself to trust it.

In Passion and Purpose,
