This also applies to the search for healing. Wanting to be better is not enough. Healing necessitates active participation, consistency and patience.
Productivity and action beckon us everywhere we turn in life. People seek immediate responses to their activities, and they want mindfulness and growth to emerge quickly. It means slowing down and becoming aware of the ebb and flow of life and oneself. Many people see recovery as a roller coaster. It is something in which we must commit time and energy. It is something we must constantly engage in if we are to heal and progress in life.
In the story of the unforgiving servant, Jesus revealed that he was throned to pain and torturers. Even medical science has linked stress to a variety of offences and illnesses that humans incur. If you believe you have the right to commit an offence, remember that the devil has the right to keep you in bondage. Forgiveness is a key step in the healing process. Forgive ourselves for not being kinder, gentler and more patient with ourselves in the past and present.
Many forms of mindfulness and meditation are effective ways to manage the tension and anxiety associated with trauma. Both of these exercises can be difficult and uncomfortable at first, but if one can maintain a schedule, one can achieve new levels of relaxation. People who meditate may be encouraged to empty their minds or to fill them with positive or uplifting ideas. Some will merely work on calming racing thoughts, while others may include particular body motions.
Letting go will be more difficult if you hold out for an apology from the other person who injured you. You must look after your recovery if you are hurting, even if it means coming to terms with the fact that the person who injured you won't likely apologise.
You are not alone if your avoidance of bad emotions stems from your fear of experiencing them. People tend to want to block things out rather than feel them, which might impede the letting-go process. The unpleasant feelings resemble riptides. Allow them to emanate from you. Fighting them can leave you stranded, but it might also call for mental health assistance.
It’s crucial to put yourself first. It is up to you to decide whether or not to deal with the pain you have endured. Remind yourself to stay in the present when you are thinking about someone who has hurt you. Next, give attention to something for which you are thankful.
Your self-talk has the power to either advance you or keep you stationary. Often, rephrasing your thoughts during emotional distress might be aided by creating a mantra for yourself.
This straightforward yet effective advice can get you through a lot of hardship. Manly says, "We can't do life alone, and we can't expect ourselves to get through our hurts alone." It's a great approach to reduce isolation and serve as a beautiful reminder of the positive things in our lives to allow ourselves to rely on our loved ones and their support.
Holding on to something that hurts you and blocking your mental state from healing is not something one should do. Let it go and move forward to live.
