So I recently came across a post that said these words and it caught my attention. As I continued to ponder upon these words, it hit me that most of us never confront our pain because we keep convincing ourselves that we are not hurt.
To be honest pretending is the easy way out you know, I mean accepting that you are hurt may also mean you have to acknowledge the part you played and forgive yourself.
Honour your pain, don’t run away from it or burry it within you. Pain demands attention, it needs to be acknowledged before you can move on. Repressed emotions can also factor into mental health conditions, such as stress, anxiety, and depression. These issues often cause physical symptoms, including: muscle tension, digestive issues, fatigue, weight gain and sleep disorders. Research had linked emotional repression to decreased immune system functions too.
Learn from your pain, recovering from emotional pain makes you wiser, healthier, stronger and more resilient. Above all it grows your faith in God. It enables you to see life differently; most of my breakthroughs came right after a season of emotional pain. Every time I made it to the other side, I was always proud of myself. Feel your feelings instead of burying them. Acknowledge, forgive and give yourself time and be patient, YOU WILL BE HEALED.
