Your Power Was Never Gone. It Was Buried!
Aug 10, 2025
There’s a moment in every healing journey when we start to remember:
We were never broken. Just buried.
Buried beneath pain, people-pleasing, old stories, and survival habits that once kept us safe.
But the truth?
Your light didn’t go out. It got quiet.
It dimmed to protect you.
It softened so you could survive.
But now, you’re being called to rise again not as someone brand new, but as the you that always was.
How to Reclaim the Version of You That Already Knew How to Rise
This isn’t about hustling toward a new identity.
It’s about peeling back the layers to reconnect with your original brilliance.
Here are 3 gentle but powerful ways to begin that reconnection:
- Revisit a Sacred Practice from “Before”
Think back to a time no matter how brief when you felt spiritually strong, emotionally grounded, or deeply inspired.
What were you doing then?
Was it journaling, praying, dancing, lighting candles, singing, or just walking in silence?
Pick one of those practices and bring it back even for five minutes a day.
You’re not starting over. You’re remembering who you are.
- Speak to Yourself as Someone Worth Returning To
When shame or self-doubt whispers, answer back with truth. You’re not too far gone. You’re not behind.
Say:
“I forgive myself for what I didn’t know.”
“I honor what I’ve been through.”
“I’m safe to be myself again.”
Create your own personal affirmation and say it daily, even if your voice shakes.
- Choose One “Unburial” Act Each Week
You don’t have to unearth everything at once. Just one piece.
That might look like saying no without apologizing, wearing something that makes you feel like you, or finally writing down that idea you’ve been carrying for years.
Each small act says: I’m coming home to myself.
This isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about reclaiming the version of you that already knew how to rise.
The version of you that prayed in the dark.
That whispered affirmations through tears.
That trusted God even when it didn’t make sense.
That’s your power. That’s your root.
Today, take one deep breath and say:
“I am returning to myself.”
That’s where your real strength is.
Not in pretending to be perfect but in honoring your process, piece by piece.
Need guidance as you find your way back to yourself?
If this message speaks to you, know you don’t have to walk this journey alone.
I offer intentional support for those who are ready to rise gently, fully, and with faith.
