Pain is an inevitable and unpredictable part of our lives, impacts who we are or the way we interact with the world. It’s important we acknowledge, express, process and release it, in a timely manner.
We need to identify the root cause of our pain and take action to heal. Treating superficial symptoms or finding solace in temporary comforts, doesn’t help. By focusing on deep rooted underlying causes, we can manage pain healthily, gain balance, clarity and control over any grief or sadness.
The very thought of needing to analyse our emotions leads to resistance in most of us, especially if, on the surface, our lives seem to be in good order. It’s difficult to make the effort to dig and dive intonour pain, even though we are seriously inconvenienced by the hurt.
If we carry the burden of unprocessed pain, sooner or later, it creates immense discomfort, sorrow and regret. Being proactive, lowers our suffering, frees up negative energy or feelings tied up in numbing or refusing to endure the pain, just releasing and letting go. We hold on tightly to pain, as a way of self protection.
The first step is to honestly recognise, embrace and honour our pain, no brushing it under the carpet or pretending all is well. We will then, understand it’s origins or value.
