Don’t be afraid to talk to people

Image by Vinzent Weinbeer from Pixabay

When you have been through something traumatic in life, we tend to push it down and not talk about it. 

It’s a release when we can talk to someone about it. It actually frees us even more. This person to talk to could be a professional, someone you trust or someone you know who’s being through a similar journey as you. 

Talking about your experience makes you realise how free you are and how much you have grown. Sometimes when we are experiencing behaviour from someone else, it isn’t until we take off the rose coloured glasses that we realise, wow, how did I even put up with that person’s behaviour. 

The most important thing to know is, you don’t have to put up with someone’s bad behaviour towards you. You can move on! And the best way to do that is to find support from others to help you on your journey to healing yourself. 

Sometimes we feel it’s best we don’t open the darkness that we have had to overcome or are overcoming. But as you touch the surface as you tell someone, they may relate or you feel the trust building with them and then you dive in. Into your darkest depths and as you pull it out, you realise, it’s ok. You will never be in that time again. You are healing. You are safe now. You realise you can talk about it and whatever emotions you feel arise, you can acknowledge them and move on. 

It is ok to get emotional. You have been through a tough time. No matter how big or small the situation was, it was still traumatic to you. You still buried it deep enough to feel ok on the surface to focus on each day as it comes.

What if I told you, in time, you will not just heal from what you experienced but you will grow. You will learn what your boundaries are, you will heal in beautiful ways and discover new things about yourself or let yourself rekindle with life’s enjoyment. 

It’s important you find someone to talk to. To release your pushed down feelings and thoughts. It’s important you choose someone you trust. And watch how you transform and feel uplifted by acknowledging what traumatic situation you went through and knowing you will never have to go through it again. 

It’s empowering because you have a bright future and now whatever was holding you back is free and your sky is limitless. You can achieve whatever you want. You can be who you want to be. You can feel free. Be you. 

If you are in a difficult situation right now, speak to a professional or even call your local help line to talk things through and ask where to find help. It’s not being weak to find help and talk about the past, it’s being strong.

You got this.

I'm the boss

Image
Image by gnanasathees suntharam from Pixabay Sometimes, you might be facing something tough. Something you would rather avoid but you can't.  So pump up the music and remind yourself, you are the boss.  Walk like you are the boss. Shoulders back. Head held high. And your face can be as you want it. No fakeness here. You just be you.  You are going to go all into this situation and you are going to represent yourself.  It does not matter how tough you may feel the situation is. Why? Because, you are the boss.  You got this.  You may not be able to control the outcome, but you are going to show-up and give your best in whatever situation. The best is all you can give, this is what you can control. So give it.  Always be respectful and polite but remember you got this. Be the boss.  #betheboss #confidence #challenges

Have you been told this before?

Image by Hoàng Bình from Pixabay I wonder if anyone has told you, you are a very special and an important person. It doesn't matter if no one has told you because I am telling you right now.  You are special You are amazing You are an important person.  All that matters is that you tell yourself the above over and over, until you smile. Why till you smile? Because that is when you believe it.  Imagine if you could fly.  Where would you go? What would you see? Imagination is by starting to visualise where you want to be, who you want to be... tell yourself or write it down, where do you want to be and who do you want to be? It doesn't matter when.  Just where do you want to be? By visualising every day the same visual thoughts of where you want to be, you start to be motivated to find ways, steps, goals, people to meet to find ways to get where you want to be.  Now is not the time to give up. Now is the time to remind yourself what you knew deep down all al...

Be in the moment

Image by Toàn Lê from Pixabay Think of your favourite colour. Now imagine you are holding something in your hand that is your favourite colour. Think about how it feels. Is it soft and smooth or has intricate details or maybe it is heavy and hard?  Think about the size. Does it have its own unique size or is it large, medium or small? What is the shape look like?  Does the object have a scent? For example, maybe a purple object has a lavender scent or maybe a wooden object has a wood scent. Does it smell nice?  Why do you like this object that you are holding? Does it make you smile? Maybe it brings you comfort? Now during your hard times think about this object. Think about how it feels and smells but most important think about how this object makes you feel.  #objects #sensory
