The Courage of Baby Steps: Why Every Small Move Matters in Healing

There’s something sacred about the beginning of healing.

Not the big, bold transformation we sometimes imagine, but the quiet moment you decide today is the day I try again.

The baby step.
The deep breath.
The “I’m not okay, but I’m still moving.”

And what I’ve come to learn — both personally and through the stories of others — is that these tiny acts of courage are everything.

Baby steps don’t mean we’re weak.
They mean we’re wise enough to pace our healing.

Trauma, heartbreak, burnout, grief — they ask so much of us. And sometimes we feel like we have to come back swinging, fully put together, or "past it." But healing rarely looks like that. More often, it looks like crying in the shower, then going to work anyway. Or choosing to journal for five minutes instead of spiraling. Or reaching out to a friend just to say, “Hey, I’m not doing great today.”

That’s not failure. That’s resilience.

Your baby step today might be...
💬 Saying no without overexplaining.
🧠 Challenging one old belief that no longer serves you.
❤️ Looking in the mirror with a little more softness.
🙏 Asking God for help even when you feel distant.

Whatever your step is — it matters. And it’s not small to your nervous system, your spirit, or your story. Healing is less about how far you go and more about how deeply you honor where you are.

Your courage isn’t measured in miles — it’s measured in movement.
And if all you can do today is inch forward…
Friend, that’s brave. That’s healing. That’s enough.

So to the ones whispering, “I don’t know if I’m doing it right” —
I see you. I’m proud of you. And I’m walking beside you.

One baby step at a time.
