That “OMG YESSS” Moment… and Then What?
You know that moment – the breakthrough, the realisation, the OMG YESSS!! insight. It hits you like lightning. Everything suddenly makes sense. You feel excited, hopeful, energised. This is it, you think. I’ve cracked the code!
And then… reality kicks in.
Because as much as I love a good aha moment (and trust me, I really do), that moment is only the beginning. The real work starts afterwards — when life asks you to actually live from that new awareness.
Why Change Feels So Hard (Even When You Want The Change)
Here’s the part no one really talks about: your ego-mind hates change. It loves what’s familiar, predictable, and controllable – even if what’s familiar isn’t actually good for you. So the moment you start doing things differently, the mind can panic.
At the same time, your nervous system is also like, “Hang on… this feels unfamiliar. Is this safe?” Stress hormones kick in, emotions flood your system, and suddenly you’re dealing with anxiety, overwhelm, confusion, or self-doubt. When mind, body, emotions, and energy all go into fight-or-flight, everything feels disorganised, ungrounded, and confusing.
Why Big, Fast Changes Often Backfire
This is why dramatic, all-at-once changes rarely last. When we try to overhaul everything overnight, it’s simply too much for our system to process. The mind resists, the nervous system freaks out, emotions spiral – and before you know it, you’re right back where you started.
Sustainable change takes time because your system needs time. Time to adjust and regulate. Time to build a new “familiar” that actually feels safe, embodied, and aligned. This isn’t a flaw and you are not ‘slow. It’s a perfect combination of biology, psychology, and energetics all working together.
Breakthroughs Are The Just The Beginning
I’ll say it again because it matters: the breakthrough is just the beginning.
Integration is key to anchoring the lessons into the cellular memory, and actually creating sustainable change.
Integration means retraining the mind, gently regulating the nervous system, and rewiring subconscious beliefs — one decision at a time. It’s the constant inner check-in: Pause. Breathe. What’s the aligned next step here? It’s not sexy. It’s not big and dramatic. But absolutely essential to sustainable, long term change.
Big changes are made in the small moments
Big changes don’t usually happen in huge, cinematic moments. They happen quietly, in the choices you make when no one’s watching. Do I speak up or stay silent? Do I rest or push again? Do I choose what feels aligned even it’s a risk, or do I got back to what feels familiar?
These small moments day to day shape your nervous system, your energy, and ultimately your life. You might not notice the shift in the moment – but three, six, twelve months later, you realise you’re no longer the same person.
Why Reiki & Energy Alchemy Supports Lasting Change
This is exactly where Reiki & Energy Alchemy comes in. Not as a quick fix, but as a support system for real, embodied transformation. In these sessions, we don’t just chase insights, we anchor them into your mind, body, and energy.
By highlighting our shadows, regulating our nervous system, and working with the energetics, we create change that actually sticks. Not by forcing growth, but by allowing your system to expand at a pace it can sustain.
This Is How Lives Actually Change
Real transformation isn’t about becoming a totally new person overnight. It’s about stepping into the highest version of yourself slowly, consistently, and consciously. It’s knowing the big changes are made in the small moments – one aligned choice at a time.
If you’re ready to stop repeating the same cycles and start creating change that feels grounded, regulated, and sustainable, Reiki & Energy Alchemy is here to support that process. Not rushed or forced. But deeply embodied. Read more and book in for your next Reiki & Energy Alchemy session here.
