Dysfunctional comfortability: A subconscious sacrifice in order to avoid healing and growing.

We are living in times of endless distractions—whether it is triggering world news, the latest TikTok scandal, or passing trends. Boredom has become a dread, something our tired minds desperately try to escape.

In another words, we consume impressions that take away the space we need to just be with ourselves.
Avoidance, at times, is a necessity. Of course it is. Our minds are not equipped to be consciously aware all the time of every bad memory, urge, heavy impression, painful feeling, or uncomfortable sensation.

But when it becomes a disbalanced comfortability—where avoidance becomes our norm—that is when the trouble begins. When it starts to dictate our decisions and affect our relationships, it is usually because our subconscious knots are poking at us, requesting to be untied on the surface. Ignoring them can lead to disaster.

Dysfunctional comfortability is a slow, painless, and yet deeply destructive process—especially on a collective level.
You see it all the time if you pay attention to how we communicate and interact with one another.

But there is a power in the subconscious wanting to thrive upon the surface. The power of observing the self and behavior—without judgment. This is a lifelong, dedicated process of truly innerstanding the emotional self and the external world.
The powerful process of growth literally starts within the self. It is about taking conscious action—allowing ourselves to fail, taking lessons from those failures, and untying the knots of self-punishment along the way to keep the process of growth thriving.

Choosing to step out of this survival mode takes immense courage. It requires us to be incredibly gentle and compassionate with ourselves, honoring the protective walls we built, while safely learning how to live outside of them.
