If you're feeling stuck in your feelings, old habits, or a relationship, it may be your body's way of telling you you're ready for change. We're meant to experience many emotions; the problem comes when we're immobilized by them or when our thoughts keep us from living our values. I won't promise to fix you because I don't believe you are broken.
