Avoidance Is a Form of Protection—But It Can Become a Prison
We avoid discomfort because we’re wired to stay safe.
But in our careers, relationships, and self-talk, this can turn into:
Delaying important decisions
Dodging feedback that could help us grow
Saying “I’m fine” when we’re not
Filling every free moment with distractions
Here’s the problem: what you resist doesn’t go away.
It just gets louder.

Why Fridays Are the Perfect Time to Reflect
The end of the workweek is a powerful space.
Your energy dips. Your calendar slows. Your brain starts whispering.
That’s when the real thoughts emerge.
This is your chance to listen—not fix, not fixate, just observe.

Try This: 5-Minute Journal Prompt
Find a quiet space. Set a timer for five minutes. Write on this:
> “One truth I’ve been avoiding is…”
“If I were honest with myself about ________, I would admit…”
“What this truth is trying to teach me is…”
You don’t need perfect answers—just honest ones.

Final Thought: Awareness Precedes Change
If you’ve been feeling stuck, unclear, or heavy—
Ask yourself what truth you haven’t wanted to hear.
Then give it a voice.
That voice?
It just might lead you back to alignment.
