Are you carrying emotional weight?

Have you ever gone to the doctor for physical issues, only to be told nothing’s wrong? You might be dealing with something deeper—an emotional or mental manifestation. When we don’t process emotions, they can show up physically, forcing us to reevaluate our habits and how we’re living.

Many people who develop chronic illnesses later in life carry unresolved feelings like resentment, hate, or trauma. Releasing these emotions can lead to healing. A great first step is to detox your body, then gradually clear your mind of negativity.

Think of your pain as a glass of dark wine. Each drop of water—support, love, grace—dilutes it over time. Healing isn’t instant, but the more you process and release, the lighter you’ll feel.

You’ve likely met someone whose emotions weigh them down physically and emotionally. It’s okay to feel, but staying stuck in those feelings isn’t healthy. Feel it, work through it, and let it go.

Imagine carrying two 10-pound weights all day—it would be exhausting. Holding onto emotional baggage is just as draining. Let go of the old to make space for joy, passion, and love.

You’re in control of what you hold onto and what you release. It won’t be easy, but growth never is. Would you rather stay stuck or work toward the life you’ve always wanted? Focus on being just 1% better every day—you will be 365% better next year.
