UnPacking
Your Bags #recovery #olympics
Life is full of large and small challenges. We don’t judge
your life by what happened in the past. We are more inclined to judge our lives
by how well he handled the problem. You will notice the montages about present
Olympians. Each has the winner falling many times in the growth toward
greatness. Failure is just part of the great process of success. A wise man
once said to me, “Life is more about the path you walk on, than what’s at the
end of the path!” I believe that with all my heart.
I found myself telling a client that she should consider
what is happening right now in her life, instead of clouding her reality with
her “to do” list. If she did that, she may find that she is sad, upset, or
stuffing down emotions (which later translated to stuffing down food). The reality,
though it may feel like failure, pain, or desperation is the only place to
begin to make consistent and effective change. When you start from where you
are, you can cry the entire day if you need to, but you’ll find that tears are
like the blood that rushes to the surface of the skin when you cut yourself.
The blood washes away impurities so that the wound will heal. So, also, are
tears for the emotional body. Tears purge the body of unneeded angst and
frustration and pain.
Once, I found myself riddled with discomfort. My stomach
hurt so badly that I couldn’t eat the entire day. I knew that I had been
reacting to a hurt in my life. I tried to face it by being by myself, but scads
of muck simply kept prattling through my head like a looping bad movie. But
that evening, something triggered a great cry. I wept so hard that my body felt
as if it were regurgitating. In actuality, my body needed to release all that
no longer served it. After a great cry, a hug from someone I love, I began the
difficult time of healing.
Healing is much easier these days, knowing that God always
has a gift at the end of that tunnel you find yourself crawling through to get
to daylight again. Know that about difficult times. I can’t think of one tragic
event in my life that didn’t end in a wonderful lesson, a consistent truth, a
myriad of change, or a fresh, new beginning.
If you’re facing tragedy today or sadness, know this about
life and about yourself. If you face your pain head on, you are more likely to heal
faster. Your goal is to go through all the steps. Don’t avoid the hard ones to
get to the anger. This doesn’t help the process or make you any more authentic.
If you are sad, grieve. If you need to punch your pillow, do that. Take out
your frustrations and pain in healthy ways. Eventually, you will get out of
that tunnel and face the beautiful sunshine of a new day. I promise.
