Healing vs Stuffing

What are you looking for?? Are you looking to “get over it”, or HEAL?

Part of healing is allowing ourselves to feel all our feelings, including pain, and remembering that bumps in the road are a part of the process. Stuffing it down, is avoiding the inevitable pain! It leaves it unfinished….instead of experiencing it on our terms…and putting it behind us!

It’s imperative we address problems… they don’t go away, and certainly do not get better because we put them off!!

It’s crucial, we allow ourselves freedom to experience and explore our feelings and emotions in safety and to do so of our choosing… rather than as a reaction!!

When we believe this, we can get back up more easily. Resilience is the ability to bounce back after adversity. Resilience building supports us to manage adversity.

We have to celebrate our successes and mourn our losses… we have to stop and focus on our intent and the direction we want to travel…or the decision making path we want to follow…

It’s not about turning left or right… it’s about weighing out the risk versus rewards, are the consequences aligning with our beliefs and values… is this action likely to allow us to achieve what we are working towards, or hinder us?

Resilience

Trying to take a positive perspective on situations.
Viewing challenges as learning opportunities.
Regulating emotions and expressing feelings in appropriate ways.
Focusing on the things you can control instead of dwelling on what you cannot change.
Recognizing that cognitive distortions are false.

1. Purpose creates focus It has been wisely noted by people in the past that you can think about anything...but you cannot think about everything!

2. Purpose triggers decisions

3. Purpose shapes thinking

4. Purpose stimulates activity

5. Purpose provides a benchmark

As always… stay out of that rearview mirror… except for brief check-ins… you can keep looking back when you’re forward focused!!

Stick to the plan… and LIVE forward focused, on purpose!!
