[00:00:17.77]Hey!
[00:00:18.85]This is Lynda again on Rooted&Real.
[00:00:23.73]Our topic today is ‘Healing Isn’t Linear’.
[00:00:31.89]First and foremost, progress isn’t
a straight line, ‘sawa’ (okay)?
[00:00:35.53]We agree there.
[00:00:37.81]Some days you’ll feel like you’ve made it,
so you’re peaceful,
[00:00:42.57]you’re strong, and you’re clear.
[00:00:46.61]And some days, that same trigger
will knock you down flat.
[00:00:53.73]That doesn’t mean you went back.
[00:00:58.45]It means you’re human.
[00:01:01.81]Please don’t let the bad
days cancel your good days.
[00:01:08.21]Healing is like waves.
[00:01:14.33]Two steps forward, One step back
and three steps sideways.
[00:01:22.93]You can actually be 90% better
and still have a 10% day.
[00:01:30.49]Makes sense?
[00:01:33.81]That’s not a failure.
[00:01:35.41]That’s the process.
[00:01:37.49]So don’t shame yourself
for having a hard day.
[00:01:40.69]Don’t call it starting over just
because you had a step back.
[00:01:44.57]You’re still on the path.
[00:01:49.25]Even the wobbly paths count.
[00:01:52.89]Be gentle with your timeline, okay?
[00:01:55.89]You’re not late, you’re not slow.
[00:01:58.37]You’re healing at the
pace your heart can hold.
[00:02:01.93]Give yourself the same
grace you’d give a friend.
[00:02:06.37]Remember, healing isn’t linear,
but it’s happening.
[00:02:11.97]So keep going…
