| Something i have learned... |
After ending my marriage and becoming a single mom with two children, I took a step back and re-evaluated my life. When I was done taking a good and honest look at myself I knew I needed to make a journey that would heal my soul, help me discover myself and put me in the best mental state of mind that I have ever been....
With the help of someone who guided me in this self discovery journey, this is what I learned...this is how I healed...
First I needed to recognize my demons (you know..those little voices in our head that cripple us, taunt us...put fear throughout us)…what ever they may have been. Sometimes it was hard because I didn’t want to admit they were there, but they were ruining my life, taking control, and making me miserable...so I faced them head on. Once I named those demons…I could find where they started in my life…pinpointed their origin. It was amazing how quickly I could see where and when they started to form and how they affected my life over the years...even to the point of the type of man I chose to marry.
Believe it or not…that was the hardest part…once I did that the rest was easy. Why…because I knew where it started. I could quickly see all the places it affected my life. I knew why I felt the way I did and I didn’t need to be afraid of those feelings anymore because I knew what they were…simply ghosts of my past and there was no reason to let them hurt me…in recognizing them I took their power away.
Next step was to learn how not to let them get the better of me if they decided to pay me a visit…I found it quite simple…deep breathing, meditation, affirmations… I redirected my energy to something enjoyable…music…a hot bath...a cup of coffee…anything that made me feel better as long as it wasn’t bad, such as alcohol or a vice for escapism.
Now I would be a liar if I said these demons never try to rear their ugly head. They do, but…as quickly as they appear I can make them disappear and their visits have become fewer and farther between.
They can’t hurt me anymore…now…I am more powerful then them.
