My Emotional Healing Journey And How I Did It

I’m thankful for how far God has brought me, in all aspects in my life. Life is good. I’m happy. I have peace within me and around me. My businesses are growing. Those close to me are supportive, solid and the love is always felt. I just have so much to be thankful for. Especially emotionally. Last year and the year before I was an emotional wreck. Not only that, it was extremely hard mothering my children while I was broken, exhausted and tired emotionally. Here I am two years later, and I’m a completely different woman. I’m thankful for my growth. I want, think and move different. I hold the power to regulate my emotional state. 

How I did it (still doing it) :

I had to learn myself over again

For a long time I didn’t even know who I was. I didn’t feel like myself or look like myself. I had completely lost who I was. I decided enough was enough. I had to completely re-learn myself. I spent time alone, I journaled a lot (still). I became more aware of what I wanted and needed. What I like, how I wanted to feel, what made me happy, what and who brought me peace, etc. Learning yourself also includes loving on yourself, embracing who you are. 

I protected myself + my feelings 

Set boundaries, set boundaries, set boundaries! Boundaries set the tone for how you feel/expect to be treated and respected. You know your worth. You should be treated as such. Stand firm in that. Also, stand firm in your beliefs and opinions.

I moved on from the past + not so good experiences

Dwelling/ reminiscing on past hurt gets you absolutely nowhere. It’s like putting yourself through hell over and over and over again. For what? To keep going in circles..to not heal? The sooner you let go, the better. That’s that on that. 

I practiced mindfulness

Best thing you can do is have a grip on your mind and be aware of your thoughts. It’s essential. You have the ultimate ability to protect your peace of mind and happiness. 

I let my overall purpose trump my mood + emotions

Focusing on my purpose and meaning in life helps me to stay grounded. It helps me to manifest my dreams, needs and wants. When you’re focused on what matters most(your purpose) you don’t have time for anything else. You’ll be too busy making magic. 

I found an outlet other than writing + journaling 

I create. I design. Dive into your creative space! Being in my creative element is like being in one of my safe places. Being in this space lets me be me. It’s my therapy in a way. 

I decided to be WAY more confident in my thoughts, decisions + actions 

Learn the art of self-empowerment. I trust myself. I trust that I make the best and beneficial choices for myself. Confidence is key. I stand firm when I say I can handle anything that comes my way.
