Beyond the Finish Line: Why Healing Is a Journey, Not a Destination

We all crave neat endings—a finish line where pain dissolves and happiness takes its place. Bella Mackie’s Jog On gently reminds us that healing is never that simple.



Recovery is messy. Progress is nonlinear. There will be relapses, plateaus, and days when hope feels out of reach. Mackie’s story is filled with these moments, but also with triumphs—each run, each act of self-care, each honest conversation is a victory.

Positive psychology teaches us that hope is a practice. Celebrate small wins. Be kind to yourself. Build routines that support your wellbeing. Mackie’s optimism is infectious: she shows that healing is possible, not because the journey is easy, but because you are stronger than your struggles.



There’s no finish line—only the next step. Jog on, with hope.
