The Genesis of Healing Day 1: Awaken

Why You Keep Starting Over

Each new year, many women long for real, lasting change: to feel better and lose weight.

This desire is normal. You are not alone.

But here's the awakening: lasting change is not born from another January resolution. It comes from true healing—addressing the deeper roots of our struggles rather than temporary fixes. This shift in approach is key to breaking the familiar patterns we repeat year after year.

Most of us recognize this pattern.

We crave relief. Each January, we try something new, see some progress, and soon feel frustrated. The cycle repeats.

So, it’s no wonder we feel stuck.

Willpower may manage our symptoms, but it cannot heal the core issues. This is why the cycle keeps repeating—without addressing what’s underneath, real change won't last.

When pain lingers, we naturally seek relief. If we aren’t comfortable letting God meet us there, we turn to what’s most accessible:

• Food

• Control

• Fixes

These may soothe the discomfort for a moment, but they don’t touch the root.

Lasting change begins when healing does.

When we address the true cause, not just the symptoms, we break the cycle for good. True healing means you don’t have to keep starting over.

Tomorrow, we’ll discuss why familiar health methods alone don’t break this cycle. Today, take one step: reflect on where you need true healing, and consider reaching out for support—you are not alone on this journey.

Cheering you on,
