Ep 154: Commitment to Healing // Leading Through Pain Series with Bianca Juarez Olthoff

We're Going There with Bianca Olthoff

Have you ever found yourself avoiding pain instead of facing it? I’ve been there too, friend.

That is why I am sharing a three-part series on healing through pain. In today’s episode, I want to start by emphasizing the importance of acknowledging and embracing pain rather than avoiding it.

It is important to build a strong foundation and develop daily disciplines to navigate pain effectively. We do this by identifying the root cause of pain. You can not solve the pain unless you:

• Acknowledge that there’s a problem: Name the pain.
• Diagnose the problem: What’s the issue behind the issue? What’s the feeling behind the feeling?
• Treat the problem: What needs to be fixed? Who can or should speak into this? What is the root? What is needed to heal?
• Revisit: Be committed to the healing process.

Are you interested in your healing or are you committed to your healing? Identify the pain, sit in the pain and the pain will lose its power. Let’s be honest about where we’re at while being intentional about our healing. Let me know where you’re at by tagging me @biancaolthoff

XO,
