Each and every one of us have had things happen in our lives that have left us with deep emotional scars. Most people will not just automatically know that they need healing from that trauma. The truth is that every day we wake up, it comes with more to maneuver through. After years of collected unhealed trauma, you get to the point even a normal day can be quite overwhelming. It had gotten that way for me. I was always one to hold things in. When you do that consistently, you will eventually have an intense anger brewing under the surface. For me, an argument blowup did not really have anything much to do with the argument at hand. It was like an explosion because I had reached the limit of hurt I could hang on to. When my spiritual awakening began, every part of my existence as I knew it was stripped away. You have everything torn down so that you have no choice but to reach inside yourself to connect with the source of creation. You feel like your entire world has been pulled out from under your feet and you have only the Creator to build upon. This is God's way of getting your attention. As you work through it, every trauma or difficulty you have ever had in your life from childhood through to adulthood will one at a time be brought to the surface so you can deal with it head on, cry out the hurt and release it. It was a strange feeling, because for me, the tears flowed from deep within me, without even much of a thought.
What most people do not realize is that things that you have long forgotten about and that are no longer on your mind's conscious level are affecting your life in a huge way now in the present. Especially anyone who has had severe trauma when just a child.
A deep healing is necessary in those cases. You must believe in yourself and your power to heal. Meditation is a wonderful practice and a great way to get started. To sit in silence with yourself will begin to bring out the real you; your true self. Don't assume though that you can do it completely on your own. You need that closeness with God. If you meditate and connect with Him and talk to Him about things that you need to let go of, He will definitely help you understand what you need to heal. It will build a bond between you. In the stillness, He speaks. You have only to listen. People tend to keep their feelings and pain inside themselves. They feel like no one cares about the way they are hurting. You will find that opening up to the Lord about those feelings during your meditation, can only make things better. He is a great listener and wants very much for you to allow the bond between you to grow. I have learned that He will get as close to you as you allow Him to get. He loves you and is always with you. He wants so much for you to realize just how great His love for you truly is.
Jeremiah 32:17
Heavenly Father, You have created the heavens and the earth with your mighty power.
You are sovereign over all.
There is nothing too hard for You. I place my trust in You to
work through the challenges
I face; knowing that You can turn them into triumphs.
In Jesus Name. Amen.
These traumas affect our mental health. Your mental health is way more important than your career will ever be. It really makes alot of sense then to see about heeling all that pent up hurt before going after your dreams or pursuing a specific goal you have in your life.
You will absolutely disappoint some people by becoming your
own priority. So what? Let them be disappointed. Your self care is so very important. Self care is about doing things you don't really want to do in the present moment. It's not all about bubble baths and those kinds of things; although those are nice too.
The thing is, your self care now means a happier future later. You have the power to create change. Believe in yourself. You can achieve anything you set your mind to. Genuine people are not concerned with being liked. They balance confidence and humility. They don't seek attention and feel comfortable in their own skin. They will not be easily offended. Accept within yourself that life isn't fair. Show kindness to unkind people. Admit it when you make a mistake. Do not blame others or criticize them. Know when to stay silent. Learn from your past but live in the present.
Plan for your future and don't sweat the small stuff.
Take the time to be alone and heal.
