Moving with the Wind

Healing isn’t about resisting change.
Or controlling the wind.
It’s about learning to move with it.

Nature doesn’t fight the wind.
It bends.
It sways.
The trees don’t brace in the storm.
They reach through it — guided, not broken.

Healing asks the same of us.

To yield — not in weakness,
but in quiet strength.

Like grasses bowing in a gust,
we learn to flex with what we cannot control.
To flow with life’s changes.
To trust movement as a path.

Healing isn’t forcing progress.
It’s letting go of the need to control it.

To sway.
To be shaped.
To grow because of the storm — not despite it.

Keep momentum:

Do a 2–5 min ritual — quick reset for low-capacity moments.

Build capacity — sleep, basics, and minimums that matter.

Reflect for a minute — short reads with a long tail of calm.
