Let’s face it, random things trigger bad memories; “memories of an ex or lost one; memories of a tragic experience; memories of a missed opportunity; and those triggers remind you that you’re not completely over it. All we can do in these times is remind ourselves that our pain is due to us living in the past. Why can’t we just focus on the present in these situations? Easier said than done right! If we only had the skills to do this our daily lives would be so much easier. But let’s be realistic, if you’re anything like me, our past will haunt us forever. I try daily to forget my past but trust me, it’s easier said than done at bare minimum. Maybe we’re both gluttons for punishment. I know I am, I’m a die hard Miami Dolphins and Toronto Maple Leafs fan, string the violins. Let’s not try to numb the pain as it only delays the healing.
“Focus on your relationship with yourself, and what you need to improve from the situation you’re in. No one knows what’s best for you better than yourself.” We all have abilities within us, amazing ones that need to be explored. Let’s allow time to take its course, “time doesn’t require your permission…instead you’re respecting time and saving yourself grief in the process.” Time can help us process a painful event, it allows for self reflection, it can give us space for new activities and people and it best of all it facilitates growth.
“Don’t try to numb the pain that may just delay the healing”
Do the wounds remain?
