Every sunrise creates the opportunity to start healing from whatevers hurting or haunting you. ☀️
It doesn’t matter how your pain found you, what matters is how you muster the courage to move beyond it.
Healing can start by forgiving who or what hurt you, including forgiving yourself for the role you played or decisions you made, that led to your emotional or physical pain.
Forgiveness doesn’t mean you condone or forget what happened. Forgiveness is the act of reclaiming control over your mental and physical well-being so you can move on and live your best life.
When we forgive, we put the weight of our pain down and remove the power it has over us. Forgiveness allows peace to fill in the spaces where sorrow, guilt, regret, anger, grief or other pain once lived and, we begin to heal.
If you need help getting started; write down the things you want to heal from and who you need to forgive. Then, find your place of peace. This place might be a forest, the oceanside, a wide open field, the rivers edge, a mountain top, your garden or a quiet room with a view.
In this safe space set your words free. You can burn, bury, shred or flush, them away. Or, scream them out into the ether.
When you leave this place, think about the lessons you’re pain provided, offer gratitude for the lessons, then leave what and who hurt you behind. If you feel your pain creeping back in. Go back to this place and reclaim your peace of mind.
Whether your pain is anchored in grief, regret, abuse, addiction, heartbreak, illness or other physical or emotional suffering; today’s a good day to start healing.
Pain is often where our greatest learning and growth takes place. It’s a part of all of our lives, but don’t let your pain be your whole story. 🌅
