Healing with God is a road trip, not a teleport. Some miles are slow.

Recovery is almost never instant, and expecting it to be adds a second injury on top of the first. The slow miles get read as failure, as though healing that takes time is not really happening, when in fact the length is what makes it hold. Progress on a long road includes stretches that look exactly like standing still.

Measure in months rather than days. Keep whatever small practice is helping even when it seems too small to matter. Be patient with yourself on the slow stretch, because you did not choose the distance, only whether to keep going.
