The One Question You’re Avoiding (and Why You Should Tackle It Anyway)
You know the question. The one that sits quietly at the edge of your awareness. The one that stings a little when you say it out loud — so you don’t.
Instead, you journal about the safe things. The easy reflections. The parts you’ve already processed.
But your growth is asking for more honesty than that.
Why the Avoided Question Matters Most
The question you’re avoiding is often the one holding the door. Not just to your next insight — but to a part of yourself that’s been waiting to be seen.
Avoidance is a signal. It’s not telling you to run. It’s telling you to pause.
What Might That Question Be?
It might sound like:
- What do I know… that I’m pretending not to?
- What truth am I protecting someone else from hearing?
- If I stopped being afraid, what would I choose?
- What does my soul keep circling back to — even when I try to move on?
You don’t have to answer it perfectly. You don’t even have to answer it all at once.
But write it anyway. Put it on the page. Let the ink make it real.
The Power of Putting It Down
When you write the hard question, a few things happen:
- You take away its power to hide
- You give yourself permission to explore
- You signal to your intuitionInner knowing or sensing that guides decision-making beyond logic or reasoning. that you’re listening — even when it’s uncomfortable
You don’t always need a solution. You need space for the question to unfold.
And your journal? It’s the safest place for that unfolding to begin.
