An anonymous person asked a question on my previous post:
“I try and let the pain go but constantly see the person who caused the pain, so how do I focus on the now?”
First, I am not a licensed therapist, and this blog is to share and have conversations about life issues in hopes of creating new experiences.
Pain and hurt are associated with emotions, which is normal. Blaming or criticizing the person(s) who caused or contributed to our suffering does not keep us Mentally Healthy. Placing the focus on the negative does not move us to a better state. Yes, we want to acknowledge our feelings yet, we also want to move beyond the pain and not continue to have negative conversations.
Deciding to shift our thoughts and the behavior associated with the ideas will move us into a state of action to move beyond the pain. We begin to forgive and view the person(s) and the situation differently.
- Focusing on the positive of the NOW help us to discover our strength.
- Developing different mental pictures and images helps us to grow and move beyond the pain.
- Realize we have control and not another person.
- Knowing life is not perfect helps us accept precisely where we are NOW.
Life will always have its challenges, and paying attention to the words we speak daily can have a positive or negative effect on us. We decide to verbalize the words to create the images we want as an outcome.
How we handle and interpret situations depends on where we are mentally, so let’s work on being Mentally Healthy.
It is up to us to take control of our feelings and not allow someone else to have power over how we should feel.
Matthew 7:7-8 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”
We are stronger together. How will you rise? I am here and listening.
