The Unleavened Loaf: When Nothing Rises and You Still Show Up

The Unleavened Loaf

The weight of trying when nothing rises

Dear Crumbheads,

You’ve fed yourself everything you could. And still, there’s no rise. No lift. Just dense weight. The Unleavened Loaf keeps showing up, even when there’s no proof that anything will change.

. . .

It’s okay to be heavy. Some days, gravity wins.
Once tried to rise on willpower alone. Turns out, willpower is not a leavening agent.

Sit wrapped in a warm towel. Let heat be enough.

What if progress is just presence with yourself?

You don’t have to rise today. You just have to be.
